Im new here. Facial/neck and jaw pain
 

Hi everybody, im concerned I may have an issue relating the nerves in my neck but im not sure what it could be.

Ive had a stiff neck for years, there is always a slight pain/pressure at the back left of my neck. My jaw csn feel tight and i have ear pressure too. This is all on my left side. I went to the docs and they said TMJ which is a good assumption, but didnt actually look into it.

I get numbing of the left side of my face and cheekbone tightness. It can radiate around the left side of my head and down to my shoulder. My neck feels weaker than it should and if i look down to my chest i get the pain in the back left of my neck. I also get dizzy spells and vision problems sometimes.

Any ideas whether its all caused by TMJ? or if it could be nerve related? Or any other ideas?

Many tha thanks everyone
