Why is my eye twitching? Symptom of TMJ?

I went to the hospital a few days ago for severe jaw/ear pain and it turned out that my jaw was displaced from TMJ (which I didn't know I had) But while all of this was going on, I noticed that I had a twitch on the same side of my face. A very small section of skin on my eye lid right beside...

Eye lid twiching. It's so uncomfortable and annoying. I've had this happen several times over the last few years, lasting a week to 10 days. I went to my doctor about it. He told me:

1) It could be eye strain. I should make an appointment to have my eye site checked.

2) It's more likly stress and the twitching is your bodys way of showing that you're under stress.

So, you might make an appointment to have your eye site checked. And if that's not the reason, perhaps it's stress. If you had jaw & ear pain, and went to the hospital...I suspect that is the stressor. Try looking online for some helpful facial relaxation techniques. TMJ can also be a symptom of stress in your life. Good luck to you.

If you consume caffeine, stop or cut down.

Some Rx's can cause that, & otc preparations.

Maybe a facial nerve is irritated from the tmj & the work done on your jaw.

Hopefully, the irritation will subside ending the twitches.

Try massaging the twitchin area and gently manipulating the eyelid, pull it to left a lil, then to right, then down.

If not, tell the docs

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.
