TMJ Symptoms Including Numbness In Arms And Fingers: REVEALED

Posted on by

Article by Sandra Carter

The TMJ or the temporomandibular bone formation is a complex bone joint that helps in opening and closing of the mouth to eat, drink, chew, and bite and to eat meat and also indirectly helps in providing nourishment to the body. It also helps in smiling and even in a simple activity like talking. Although, it can lead to various problems such as pain in the joint, headaches, even numb fingers and arms if the TMJ stops working correctly. All these are known as symptoms of the TMJ syndrome and they are discussed in detail in this article.

The symptoms of this disorder are so varied and so many in number that we will be classifying them in three different lists – Primary, Secondary and Unusual, for the reader’s convenience. These symptoms are so varied that they are apparent in the arms and fingers as well. A detailed study about these symptoms is required as these symptoms get visible on various different body parts.

Primary TMJ Symptoms

* Jaw joint ache* Inflamed jaw joint and tenderness experienced in muscles, tendons and bones* Continuous headaches and pain in the ear* The sound of clicking every time the jaw is opened* Stiff jaw joints* Stuffiness in sinus* Pain in the facial muscles* Difficulty in hearing

Secondary TMJ Symptoms

* Unclear visions, compromised night visions and light-sensitivity. Pressure behind the eyeballs.* Migraines, sinus-headaches, cluster headaches. Tenderness in the scalp and pain felt through the hair roots.* Ringing, roaring sounds in the ear as happens in the case of Tinnitus. Gradual loss of hearing with a stuffy kind of feeling felt in the ears.* Bridled jaw movement and pain in the jawbones.* Tongue movement going haywire and pain felt all through the mouth, chin and cheek.* Pain in the neck and shoulders.* Inflexibility experienced in the spinal chord and pain felt all over the back.* Numbness in the arm and fingers and that happens mainly due to the misalignment of the jaw bones leading to the incorrect bite. The numbness in the arms and fingers is caused mainly due to uneven bite which makes the muscles linked to the jaws, neck, face and shoulders to go into temporary spasms, which further affects the brachial plexis (the nerves running into the hands and fingers). These nerves get pinched and create a tingling sensation in the fingers.

Unusual Symptoms Of TMJ

* Swelling in the cheek is a rare symptom of TMJ dysfunction. It becomes more apparent on the side of the affected joint. Although inflammation of the affected jaw joint is a common feature with TMJ but is rarely spreads to the cheek or other adjoining areas.

* Regular dislocation of the jaw without any pain or any related discomfort. An afflicted person has to sleep with a hard pillow pressed against the affected joint as it is prone to get dislocated while the person is in sleep. It generally happens in the chronic cases of misaligned jaws devoid of any treatment for a long period. It can be solved with the help of neuromuscular dentists.* Although it is a common feature that the clicking sound of the jaw can be heard by someone standing a feet or two away from the affected person, but in rare cases this pain can be heard almost five feet away. It is also followed with severe oppressive pain just after the sound.* Shoulder pain is an uncommon feature of TMJ syndrome. But some people complain of this rare symptom. The pain is generally felt on one side where the pain extends from the sore neck muscles to the shoulders.

While describing unusual symptoms it becomes important to point out that these symptoms can also be caused by other ailments. Take the instance of aching facial muscles, there can be almost hundred reasons responsible for it that are least connected with TMJ. The reasons can be as varied as boils, trauma to the facial muscles, nasal ailments, glaucoma, eye related problems etc. So, a correct diagnosis of the case becomes a very important feature before any treatment can be attempted.

Treatment of TMJ

Since so many people are suffering from this problem, the treatment of this disorder has become very important. However, unfortunately most modes of treatments fail to provide a permanent solution for TMJ syndrome. Among the various treatment options available there are conventional modes of treatments consisting of drugs and surgeries, over the counter options like mouth guards and splints, home TMJ remedies and exercises, but all of them only provide a transitory relief, since they only address the symptoms and simply overlook the actual cause.

Holistic remedies provide a permanent solution for this problem. Instead of the symptoms it focuses on the actual causes responsible fo the problem. After identifying the causes it eliminates them completely and once the actual cause is gone the symptoms get removed automatically never to return again. Thus holistic remedies are able to provide permanent and complete relief to a person suffering from TMJ syndrome.

Question by YBL: I have experienced numbness of my left arm and leg. The symptom usually last for a few minutes. Why?
I like to know what is cause of the symptom. I had polio in my childhood and it resulted in paralysis of my left arm for over 3 months. It was acupuncture that saved my arm. But I wonder whether the numbness is related to that experience.

A deficiency in vitamin B12 will produce symptoms such as numbing and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities ie ~ hands and feet, arms and legs, fatigue and exhaustion, chest pains and heart palpitations, dizzy spells, fainting and loss of balance,excessive sweating, excessive urination and dry mouth, nausea and vomiting, headaches and migraines, depression, insomnia and constipation, irritability and moodiness and an inability to think clearly ….Quite scary actually if you don’t realise the vitamin factor.

If you’ve been under a lot of stress lately this will cause the loss of your precious B complex of vitamins.

Eat more foods rich in vitamin B12 ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs.

Without sufficient vitamin B12 in your body any iron you ingest will never be assimilated properly and you will display symptoms of iron deficiency anemia ie ~ fatigue and exhaustion, dizzy spells and loss of balance and paleness of skin, so increase your intake of iron also as well if you aren’t already eating enough iron rich foods.

The RDI/RDA, according to the National Research Council, is 10 – 15mg per day for adults …… ♥

ie ~ pork, red meat, clams, dried peaches, egg yolks, oysters, nuts, beans, asparagus, blackstrap molasses and oatmeal.

Vitamin C rich foods eaten in conjunction with iron rich foods will increase the absorption rate of the iron.

ie ~ citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges (or juices), leafy and green vegies, tomatoes and potatoes, red and green peppers.

If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis.

Things will rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, laxatives and diuretics, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin, otc cold and flu medicines.

Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves…….. as well as being great at dehydrating you.

Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B’s ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together)……. do not take any of the B complex of vitamins individually, but rather as a whole complex, unless specifically instructed to by a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath.

The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.

The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are………

A good way to check if you are anaemic is to pull down the lower lid of your eyelids and check the coloring of the skin there. if it is pink or reddish then you are healthy, if it is pasty and pale then you are more than likely anaemic.

if you are drinking caffeinated beverages within an hour of eating your meals then you are more than likely inhibiting your iron absorption.

When you take your daily B complex please be aware that vitamin B12 needs vitamin B6 (included in a multi supplement B complex), calcium and vitamin D to be effectively absorbed………. vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin, so simply get 10 – 15 minutes per day of safe sun exposure and calcium rich foods are ~ milk and dairy (if you can tolerate them), leafy and green vegies, tofu, sardines, kale, broccoli, collard greens, salmon and tuna …… salmon and tuna are cold water fishes which are also a rich source of magnesium (known as the antistress mineral) which is probably another thing you need to focus on as well ~ your stress levels. Quite a handfull of information here …….. sorry it’s a bit long winded but you need to know all this.

When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies, boring jobs or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.

When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.

Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.

I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy♥
