I recently suffered Bells Palsy but the Drs are saying that Bells Palsy doesn't cause pain. Not the pain that I describe.

Yes, I have face, head, and neck pain, tmj and teeth hurt. My forhead and center brain have hurt so bad I tap hard on my forehead and top of head to try to alleviate the pain. When I was first diagnosed, the left side of my face was numb and tingly. I have been diagnosed with RA and fibromyalgia. It has been over a year since I have seen a neurologist but I see one in January.

Since I have read these interactions I am now wondering if the sinus bone pain which I have thought was becoming one of my more horrendous migraines. Now I wonder if it is my RA.

I have had numerous scans and Mri's.. Found spondylitis and I have it all over head, neck, shoulders and in spine ... It is very painful.. I have RA and hurt most of the time.

Yes but Dr's said it's cervical radiculopathy and spondylitis from osteoarthritis. Also TMJ hurts my head, neck & ear. Uveitis causes my head pains too. Half my face gets noticeably swollen on and off & sometimes it looks like I had a stroke. I think it's the eye drop steroids I've been on for years or uveitis. I don't know why it happens. But I know whe my RA flares up my head hurts!!

Yes I have had tremendous and ongoing pain in my head and neck. Have had ultrasound, mri,ct scan etc etc but still no answers so I put it down to my RA. Doing physio helps slightly but pain meds don't.
