Hi,
I have right lower jaw pain under the ear and jaw pain for more than 2 months. I went to different doctors and finally to a tmj specialist. He said I have tmd.
I have pain in my side of the neck, top side of the head, inside the ear, under the ear. It hurts to touch under the ear where the lower jaw ends.

Tmj specialist took a pan xray and told me that there was no space between the bones and he spotted a place in the xray. I have circled it and I am not sure of he pointed out the same spot.
He said bones are scratching each other and that gives the pain in my head and neck. I hear some soft sound or music in my right ear whenever I lie down at night. This sound hearing is new and it's been there for a week.

Tmj specialist told me to try physical therapy for my tmd. I am planning to try that. Anyone tried PT for tmjd? Does it really helps? How long does it take for PT to work? How many sessions of PT? Any inputs anyone?

Attaching another pan xray which I have taken in the month of June. Before and after extraction of my upper right wisdom tooth.
