I didn't put together my symptoms as TMJ for the longest time - and my jaw wasn't always sore, but other parts of my head were. If your ear is draining, is it possible you've got an infection in your sinus cavities? Those suckers are all over your face, too. In the most unlikely places.
And pain can telegraph into places where the cause doesn't even exist.One thing that should bring you relief would be warm, moist compresses (like a towel wettened with very warm water). When the towel cools, warm it up again (in the microwave, but careful not to burn yourself.) Try to do that for about 20 minutes. See if that helps. Pain releivers mess up my tummy, too.
Good luck!
