Anyone have this? Suspect you have it? Thoughts on its relation to TOS?
Both my vascular MD and my chiro think that some of my symptoms are not TOS and therefore I have TOS + something else. When I went searching for my other symptoms, TMJ kept coming up.

That would be a big yes from me. I often have a deep boring pain under the jaw, and find it tightens up ALOT when I smile or laugh too much!
I have the perfect excuse to be a miserable git and not laugh at others crappy jokes at least.
