Me: Okay, someone with TMJ, trigeminal nerve pain, and sinus pain help walk me through the differences so I can figure out what's happening in my face.

My good friend Becca: OMG SOMEONE FINALLY NEEDS ME!!!!

TMJ is an achy, muscular pain. If you press on the hinge of your jaw and/or the back of your skull where it meets your neck, you will feel intense pain followed by release. Causes headaches on one side, usually in the back. Opening your mouth wide while touching your jaw will produce a “pop” on one side and a feeling of sliding sideways on the other. Helped by: NSAIDS, muscle relaxants, heat. Hurt by: crunchy food, chewy food, jaw clenching.

Trigeminal neuralgia feels like random electrical shocks at the base of your teeth, radiating up into your cheek. One side. No headache. Pain can also be sharp or burning (when mine was at its worst it felt like someone put a flaming fireplace poker between my teeth and slammed my jaw shut), but the hallmark is that “shocky” pain. Helped by: medication that is specifically for nerve pain (like gabapentin). Absolutely nothing else helps. Hurt by: ??? (Mine is kind of related to the cold but…???)

Sinus pain is usually heavy pressure and an ache or occasional sharp pain in the jaw. Headaches bilateral and in the front of the head, in a “mask” around the eyes. Trigger points are at the inside corner of the eyebrow and the outer corner of the nostrils, applying firm pressure there will cause SEVERE pain that will lessen over time. Cheeks and forehead may also be sensitive to touch. Also might present as a sore throat. Helped by: sudafed, antihistamines, NSAIDS, cold. Hurt by: that depends on the person. If it’s unrelenting and doesn’t respond well to meds you should see a doctor to check for infection.

Oh my goodness I feel so useful 🖤

Understanding Cervicogenic Headaches:

Cervicogenic headaches are a type of secondary headache caused by an underlying neck issue, such as muscle tension, joint problems, or nerve irritation in the cervical spine. The pain often originates from the neck and radiates to the head, mimicking a migraine or tension headache. If left untreated, cervicogenic headaches can severely impact your productivity, mood, and overall well-being.

Our experienced team of healthcare professionals understands the complexities of cervicogenic headaches and tailors treatment plans to address individual needs. Here are some of the specialized treatments we offer:

Manual Therapy:

Our skilled therapists use hands-on techniques to release muscle tension and restore proper alignment in the cervical spine. Manual therapy aims to reduce pain and improve the range of motion in the neck, ultimately reducing the frequency and intensity of cervicogenic headaches.

Cervical Spine Injections:

For more severe cases, we may recommend cervical spine injections. These injections target specific areas of nerve irritation and inflammation, providing fast and targeted pain relief.

Physical Rehabilitation:

Our rehabilitation programs focus on strengthening the neck muscles and improving posture to prevent future cervicogenic headaches. Our experts guide you through exercises that promote flexibility and stability in the neck region.

You know...looking more into the fused vertebrae in my upper spine and cervicogenic headaches/migraines made me realize something.

The first migraine I ever had was when I was like a little kid, like 8-9 iirc, and I was at an amusement park with my family. We went on a big, very shaky wooden rollercoaster. I remember that it was so shaky that I felt like my head was rattling around, and my aunt was half-jokingly holding her arm over me and my cousin and shouting at us to "hold on!!!".

I felt fine before that, but afterwards I had a fucking blinding migraine(I thought it was a headache tho bcs I didn't know what migraines were), it was so bad I ended up curling up with my grandma on her mobility scooter and burying my head in my hand and sobbing from the pain, and my grandpa had to go find me ibuprofen before I could do anything else. I didn't have any auras or any other like pre-migrane symptoms, one minute I was perfectly fine, then I got jostled around all to hell on a huge rollercoaster and boom, worst headache of my life.

I always assumed it was kinda a coincidence? Because I thought I had normal migraines, but now....I think maybe it was because of my neck. And tbh looking back I do tend to get migraines when I've been really active, like at a movie or the state fair or whatever. All things that involve a lot of jostling around and holding my neck in specific positions.

Hmm. Things are starting to make a lot more sense.

Look, I'm not saying that vaping weed healed up this fakakta multiple headache deal, but after the gabapentin and baclofen kicked in, the cannabis opened the door and peeled back the layers through the actual pain.

There's a stubborn tendon or ligament in the back of my head leading down my right shoulder that I'm about to stab with a vibrating massage tool and transdermal THC lotion.

There's also the vibrating heating Shiatsu shawl that Roommate B got from his restoration company for Christmas two years ago and then gave to me, along with a weighted blanket. Thank you, company, but please give him more money too.

Aw, now my jaw is throbbing again. Hi, TMJ symptoms. I know you're contributing. I'm trying to kill you, stay still.

Disability aid review- pain management edition

Good morning fellow chronic pain peeps! Thought I'd share a review of some of the pain management tools I've purchased myself in the last year. First up, we have the Momcozy pregnancy pillow

I'm a side sleeper that barrel rolls all night. Most body/maternity pillows don't work for me because I just get tangled up in them. This pillow was recommended by some tiktokers with Ehlers-Danlos, so I gave it a try.

What I like :

The texture of the cover reminds me of a squishmallow.

Laying inside it feels like a hug, and was very comforting.

The stuffing is soft, but sturdy. I only used it a couple weeks (more on that later) but I saw no flattening or stuffing lumps.

The U shape kept me from barrel rolling and gave me support when I did turn side to side. I also found myself naturally sleeping on my back halfway through the night, which is far better on my spine.

I did have less pain in my hips, back, and lower neck while using it.

What I didn't like:

I felt I was a bit too tall for it. I'm 5' 9" so I expected that would be the case. The part that goes through your knees, hit me at crotch level. To circumvent this, I just bent that part down to run along my side.

It did creep up a little during the night, and I'd have to sit up and readjust my whole nest. This could be because I'm such a rough sleeper or the slick velvet cover. It wasn't a deal breaker for me, but it was a thing.

What made me stop using it every night was that I started seeing an increase in my cervicogenic headaches. I wondered if the pillow wasn't increasing the pressure on the base of my skull and triggering them. That said, I still got headaches a few days after I switched pillows. So this could have been a coincidence.

It does take up the majority of my queen size bed. My partner and I sleep separately, but if you share a bed that might be an issue.

I bought the Momcozy brand over the less expensive options after reading tons of reviews. I bought through Amazon (link) but you can also find it on their website and walmart.com

Summary:

I feel like it was well worth the $50 I paid for it (I've seen it on sale since for less than 40). I slept better on this pillow than I have any others. I liked it so well, that I'm going to give it another go once I'm brave enough to risk another migraine. But, unless you have instability where your head meets your neck, I don't think you'll have the same problems.

[thekidsarentalright]

just learned i mostly likely have only ever had one migraine before in my life and every time i Thought i was having a migraine it was actually a cervicogenic headache 😀😀😀

#aka the curve in my neck is causing compression of my nerves which when irritated causes a headache #that strongly mirrors migraine symptoms #ive only ever had one migraine i think bc i only ever had an aura once. so weird #literally thought i had chronic migraines nope just my back problems disabling me more 😍 #txt

[prionz]

scheduled my first chiro appointment bc i wanna see if that will help with my headaches, i think they are cervicogenic. i’m also gonna ask about massage therapy (mainly deep tissue massage or pressure point therapy)

[jbweld]

these cervicogenic headaches are really cool (lie)
