Can Arthritis In The Cervical Spine Cause Ear Pain,neck Pain And Headache?
Can arthritis in the cervical spine (C2-3) cause ear pain, tooth pain, headaches, neck pain, and other symptoms. I also have TMD and arthritis in my jaw, which is a possible cause of the symptoms but what is confusing is whether the jaw is the problem or the neck. I m seeing a specialist for TMD and am getting treatment but do not know if I should see a neurologist regarding my neck.
