I've just about tried every treatment going. After 4-5 years of trying all sorts, I managed to find 2 treatments that have really helped. One is myofascial release therapy, the other, and the most beneficial was holistic dentistry.

My myofascial release therapist runs a clinic out of Chelsea, but at the moment she is on maternity leave. I see her about once every 6 to 8 weeks when she's working. She did recoomend that I have an intensive session with a specialist in Scotland, which I had over a 3 day period. It really proved useful. The Contact details:-

Welcome Mopantsu!

I also have GERD and IBS along with my severe TMJ.

I also found a good massage therapist through my neurologist and worked with her for several months which helped me a lot. It didn't cure everything, but it sure did help a lot of my muscualar burning in my face and neck.

I am sorry I can't give you a recommendation as I also live in the states, but it sounds like you have some people in mind.

Best of luck to you in your endeavor to feel much better!

Mopantsu,

I can't help you with a name since I'm in the states. I can tell you that you may very well be on the right track for a lot of your pain. I've tried everything and going to an extremely experienced massage therapist helped me more than anything else. She helped with the long term muscle problems for TMJD plus several failed surgeries and she helped with several other problems. She helped me prevent a second shoulder surgery for adhesion's and scarring. I read several years ago that people were seeing relief with all types of body work or many types of massage and started looking for someone who could help. I basically interviewed her and liked what I heard. I stayed with her for years and only stopped when we moved too far away. The work she did on my neck, back, face , upper body and all the other aches and pains has maintained.

Also, any type of exercise or skilled & practiced relaxation will help a multitude of problems....

I am a 44 year old male and have facial pain. It is in my cheeks (Mainly the left side), burning earaches, sore saliva glands, burning neck pain that shifts around, pains in my left shoulder, arm and wrist and chronic somatic tinnitus (The tinnitus increases with muscle tension and anxiety or if I press or stretch my neck, head and jaw etc). Plus I get sinus congestion, headaches and wandering migraines and pains behind the eyes.

I also have other issues like GERD and IBS which may or may not be related.

Now I read about trigger points and have been poking bits of my body and find there are these sore spots that hurt like hell when I press them (There is one on my left arm just below the elbow on the top of the forearm that hurts like hell right now).

I am thinking a lot of my symptoms are muscle related due to anxiety, stress and poor lifestyle (Lack of exercise and poor diet etc). The tinnitus, fascial pain, neck pain and arm pain etc all seem to point to...
