For the past two or three weeks I have been experiencing pretty bad tension headaches. I have had knots in the muscles of my head and scalp which feel like bruises when I rub them. Today I have a really big lump, like I hit my head on something, and it hurts to rub it.
I do have TMJ, and have been grinding my teeth a lot at night for some reason. Could this be the cause, or might the two be unrelated, and if so, what could be the cause and what can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you.

first go to a dentist then a neurologist. grinding your teeth puts a lot of tension on your head.

You have a really big lump?? Ok.. you need to go get seen and examined for the real cause of these headaches. They may not be tension in nature at all. I would go in and make sure you do not have a vasculitis causing these new headaches. Whenever we see a patient with worsening headaches we work them up for all the various causes. Don't mess around with this. I doubt it is TMJ causing the various knots and scalp like bruising.

you really need to go see a nurologist to make sure everything is ok. I know that I suffer from really bad migraines and tension headaches and I had to go have a MRI done to make sure all was well. I do take medication for it all and it works a world of wonders.
