Help ?

Idk if i have TMJ, i have a upcoming apt but i hve no teeth pain, ive had a tension headache for like 7 months now. I feel it on my temples nose bridge and forehead. Ive got cleared for sinus already, mri & ct normal. I feel pressure on my temples like near my chewing muscle if that makes sense. No locked jaw, no clicking? Sometimes i feel like the pressuree is behind my eyes. And ive got cleared rom a eye doctor. Not that ive noticed, my neck does feel tight but ive done therapy massages etc nothing seems to help. Muscle relaxers kind of help but doesnt really take away the full pain.

I generally feel like the pressure/tension headache is like on forehead n temples

If it is TMJ, does the mouth guard actually help anyone? Ive gotten botox done too in my massateur muscle and im still in pain.. made no diff which kind of made me question if it is tmj or not. Anyways would love any advice PLEASE if anyone has felt this pls lmk😭

So ive been having a headache that has been goin on since sep 2025. Literally every single day.

I had blood work, ct, mri, botox, nerve blocks & multiple migraine meds, NOTHING helps at ALL.

My headache feels like something tight on my forehead temples nose bridge and behind my eyes.

Ive seen every single doctor i can possibly think of, ENT neuro, chiro, eye dr, cardio.

Nothing has helped ONLY muscle relaxers (Cyclobenzaprine) which helped for 5days then stopped working. I do have neck pain but i feel like the headache is ON MY FOREHEAD. This is not a migraine btw, this is just a dull pressure headache.

Can someone ANYONE tell me what to do what dr i should see? This is literally draining my LIFE. I wake up with this headache EVERYDAY nothing makes it better.

Pls lmk!
