Sore eyes, sore face, pain in ears, neck pain, blurry vision.

Have you been evaluated for temporomandibular joint (TMJ - jaw joint) disorder? Tmj problems can cause soreness in the face, head, and neck. Because jaw joint is right in front of the ears, the pain can feel like an earache (this is what happened to me). It can also cause pain around and behind the eyes and blurry vision.

Here is a link to the TMJ Association, which is a good reliable source of information.

My initial symptom was ear pain. I was getting recurrent earaches. My general doctor treated me for ear infections, but the pain kept coming back. No, it was not constant. He finally sent me to an ear-nose-throat specialist, who could find nothing wrong with my ears. He put a finger in my ear and pressed forward on the jaw joint, and I about came off the floor with pain! So that was how I was diagnosed.

TMJ pain can come and go, be better or worse depending on your activities, your posture, your stress level -- lots of things.
