Dear doctor, I am suffering from stiffness and discomfort on right side of head in. TMJ joint. When I try to stretch my. Muscles it feels very stiff, numb and dull. But it does not cause joint pain or other symptoms. So I want to know if the cause of stiffness is osteoarthritis or bone spurs, or it is due to stress. I did MRI of head and it was normal so what could be the cause of my problem?
