Hello everyone,
I’ve got PMR/GCA, currently on 17.25 mg pred down from 40 in January.
I Recently developed jaw problems chewing on the right side. My bite is off. GP said it was TMJ not related to the GCA. she ordered a facial CT scan. The radiologist messaged back that wouldn’t show the jaw, so she ordered an MRI as requested.
Long story short, I have tinnitus, much worse since the illness, and the noise was unbearable, couldn’t handle it. I’ve had lots of good suggestions from the forum about how to get through it, but it is just an extra stress.
Can just an X-ray show what’s going on? Do I need really need an MRI?
