Hey, everyone!
I don't know what to make of my latest symtoms, so I thought I'd get a little feedback from some of my new friends on the forum. . .
For the last few months, I've had some jaw soreness especially after I've been talking or smiling for a while (part of my job!). My speech is normal, but this added "stuff" has me very upset. Here is a run-down of the associated issues:
*sore muscles in jaw/throat
*throat feels tight/like there is a lump sometimes
*mouth trembles slightly when I open it for any amount of time
*occassional "pop" or "click" in left side of throat when I swallow (only saliva)
*excess saliva (I think!) - I seem to be swallowing more than normal
*fizzy sound/feeling sometimes in throat? What's that!
*tongue twitches? (I put a ? mark on that because when I allow my tongue to completely relax in my mouth for more than 15-20 seconds the "twitches" subside
*tingling tongue
*clearing my throat a lot - feels like my normal allergic sinus stuff, but I DON'T have any drainage
These are the newest symptoms of the bunch. I'm going to an ENT this week, but I have to admit these symptoms have bothered me more than some of the previous.
Does anyone have any guidance? I've had sooooooo much blood work, 3 normal EMG's in the last almost 7 months since all of this started (last one was 2 weeks ago on my left arm which has been the source of lots of issues), and my neuromuscular specialist at the Cleveland Clinic (who is great by the way) isn't very worried.
The jaw/front neck muscles seem so tired and tight! Thanks for any input at all. . .
