I've been dealing with pain in my lower jaw near my ear, and my neck for about five months now, and Im getting really worried. I first saw an ENT a few months ago, and he didn't find any infections in my sinus or ear. My dentist mentioned a few issues, and I got those treatments done, but he still thinks it could be a tooth fracture, and also suggested checking for TMJD or Eagle Syndrome. Meanwhile, my general physician thinks it might be trigeminal neuralgia. My symptoms include a constant burning pain in the lower jaw under the ear with mild swelling on the right side, ear pain, and a clogged feeling with a small lump on the side of my neck. An ultrasound didn't reveal any abnormalities, but there's ringing and a soft humming sound in my ear, especially when I lie down with the AC or fan on. My ear feels completely clogged at times, and theres sore pain on one spot on the top of my head above the ear, plus a constant feeling of something being stuck in my throat, and my neck feels tight and stiff. This all started back in May when I was chewing a lot. I'm thinking of going back to the ENT; do you think they could help diagnose if this is some kind of neuralgia or nerve issue? It's been a really tough time, and I'd love some advice on what to do next.

I've been feeling unsteady while walking for the past 3 years, so I got a CT scan that showed dehiscence of the lateral semicircular canal. I had ear surgery, but the surgeon said there was no dehiscence only an infection, which they cleared during the procedure. My unsteadiness hasn't improved, and I'm really confused was the CT scan wrong or did the surgeon miss something? Who should I see next to figure this out? It's been so long without any answers, and I'm really worried this might be something serious with no solution

I've been having this really strange issue where my blood circulation seems to stop only when I'm asleep, but it returns to normal once I wake up. This has been happening for more than eight months now. I was on migraine medication for about five months, and it feels like things got worse after taking them. Could it all be related somehow? I'm quite worried about this and wondering what it could mean. Any insights?
It sounds like you may be experiencing sleep-related circulatory issues, possibly exacerbated by the migraine medications you were taking. I recommend consulting with a doctor to evaluate your symptoms further. In the meantime, you can try taking aspirin at a low dose (75-100mg) before bedtime to help improve blood circulation during sleep. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet can also help improve overall circulation.
