Could Pain In Neck Be Due To The Titanium Piece In Cheek Bone?
I had a tumor in my jaw, 25 years ago. A titanium piece was put in for cheek bone,jaw line and connected .with bone from the hip, to the chin.I am experiencing neck pain that is also in my perctorial and upper arm. I see a chiro and massage therapist. She is saying that she believes this is coming from the jaw. Is this a possibiltiy?

Hi i did review your concern
yes sometimes plates in nearby area can cause referred pain at close areas due to nerve irritation. There are medications available like pregabilin in market which you can try to relieve of the pain. If pain does not go after 1-2 weeks then you need to get evaluated for a new cause neck pain and see if there is anyother problem causing pain.
i hope this helps
wish you a healthy life ahead.
