If you cannot afford a massage, you can get relief from massaging the muscle from the middle of the neck up to the corner of the jaw bone. Push up under the corner of the jaw bone and you will feel the tight band that connects to the spot next to your ears. Start massaging that area under the jaw bone then work your way around the corner of the jaw towards the ear.
My latest bought (Just getting Over) originated from the below the jaw/neck. Radiated to ear, teeth, cheek, eye and forehead. At 1st I thought it was an ear infection. There are 3 nerves (TRI-geminal) in the face that will cause different pain in different locations. Typically only effects one side of the face. Treatment is difficult. Pain med. Anti-inflammatory. Soft foods, rest.
s a very good idea to seek therapy ~ it can make a world of difference in your life! Regarding the jaw pain; clenching jaw muscles can affect your neck and jaw, it is actually a common symptom for many people who suffer from anxiety. If it is extreme, you can ask your dentist for a mouth guard, which can help reduce the pain and also save your teeth from any future damage ( use it at night while you sleep, or if you nap anytime)...
A few days ago I yawned, and had this extreme pain in my upper neck, right below my chin. I have experienced this pain before, but not like this. After the yawn occurred, I experienced massive head pain. The pain did not stop, and has continued threw the week. And I also have experienced the neck pain every so often. But now, after over talking/volunteering, I'm experiencing the pain non stop, And my head hurts quite a lot. Also when I lay my head down I can feel a very hard beat in my head.
s painful - I have constant positional head aches, pain in base of skull, difficulty swallowing, nasal pain , pain between my eyes, bridge of nose , between the shoulder blades neck - it goes on. Also it runs under my jaw and simply cannot be swallowed- tried EVERYTHING to alleviate it. Can someone shed some light on what it is as my doctor is baffled. Thanks.
As far as I can remember I have not been knocked in that area. The area of pain can stretch from the lower jaw area right up to my ear and can even give me neck pain. It causes pain when I open my mouth wide and always feels like the bones are 'clicking' and 'clunking' out of place. I have had phisio on the joint but that is only a stretch of the muscle and the pan is always present. None of the doctors I have seen can give me a strtaight answer.
The last year I have experienced off and on stabbing hot pain down the right side of my head and neck that last for 3 seconds to a minute and comes on at any time of the day or night. It doesn't seem to be associated with head movement or jaw activity. The Doctor says it sounds like Trigeninal Neuralgia but it doesn't seem to follow the same pattern of pain that Trigeninal Neuralgia produces.
Anyone with comments welcomed.
I am a 17 years old girl. four months ago i started experiencing neck pain that wouldnt go away. A g.p prescribed antibiotics for it, then muscle relaxants and then calcium and vitamin supplements but to no avail.
note: ialso have tmj.My tmj only causes me to not be able to open my mouth completely. A jaw specialist recommended that i undergo orthodontic treatment for it. Now i've had braces for almost a year.
I get jaw pain but have not had surgery. To me it's very clearly from my neck since it radiates from my neck and into my arm and face (and jaw). Yours may be different, but your NS should be investigating possible nerve problems if he hasn't already. Is your NS a chiari specialist?
Back pain won't cause neck/jaw pain, but neck/jaw pain can cause back pain. The effects of gravity apply forces downward. It sounds to me like it could be a problem in the upper cervical area (top of the neck), just beneath the skull.

The "sternocleidomastoid muscles" are most likely those which are giving you radiating pain from ear down to neck/shoulder/arm(Google for picture of this muscle if unfamiliar with its location). There are two of these muscles in the superficial layers of the anterior (front) portion of the neck that make the shape of a “V”, and they are primarily helpful in rotation, flexing and extension of the head.
The pain in your jaw from opening and shutting your mouth can be TMJ. The over-bite, under-bite,even a tilt in the upper area across the area of top of lip area or, and the bottom area bone can cause the jaw to slip in & out of place in the area the jaw bone connects to the skull. An oral surgeon can check for this problem. TMJ can be heredity.
You can go to a specialist in neck and spine. If you did damage to the neck they may not find it in xrays, but it can be found in MRI.
For several years, I have experienced severe jaw nerve pain. The pain is located very deep in the jaw behind my teeth, almost in my neck. I have been to several dentists, had xrays and exams and they cannot find a problem. I liken the pain to eating a lemon....that piercing feeling you get in the jaw ...only multiplied about 50 times. This is very painful and aspirin, muscle relaxers, pain medication etc does not relieve it at all.
About 3 or 4 days ago I started getting pain starting on both sides of my neck, starting at my jaw line. It radiates down and into my shoulders. It's a kind of burning pain. Don't take any medications. When it happens it lasts a few minutes then stops but usually starts again right away, then stops totally.
Over the course of a few weeks the pain started to subside and my jaw began to relax... Heat packs on my jaw to soothe the pain... He also suggested certain exercises to strengthen my neck and back muscles because they were weak from all the tension... I also did acupuncture... It also helped to calm and relax my muscles... Good luck!

sudden neck gland pain after dental work?
We have different things in the front of our neck that can cause pain. The most common is muscle pain. There are both outer and inner muscles of the front of neck that can become strained. Poor posture or prolonged periods of holding the head in a certain position or even sleeping on it wrong could result in muscle strain. And obviously any type of traumatic event that leads to whiplash would cause muscle issues in the front of the neck.
Almost every time I yawn I fell something like a muscle or bone poking on my neck just below my jaw. It pokes and then i have to manually push it back until i yawn again.
I've had a neck pain which has been happening for a while now. Can't say exactly how long because it's not frequent and very quick [but roughly about 6 months maybe?]. It's a sharp pain on the right side of my neck about 1-2 inches under my jaw bone. The pain is like somebody's pulling/pinching my neck from the inside and it causes my head to sort of spasm to the right but once it's gone my neck is fine and it'll be fine until it does it again which isnt often.
The submandibular gland pain is felt under the jaw/neck and also can give pain in the jaw bone and ear. An xray called a sialogram can be done where they try and pass a tiny tube through the duct and into the gland, carrying dye which is shown up on the xray. Sometimes they are unable to do this because of the blockage in the tiny duct itself. Pain can also come from the muscles in the neck being tense. Try resting with a warm compress or warm hot water bottle against your neck and face.
It occurs in my cheek around the needle area from the anesthesia and my jaw (in the back right, both upper and lower jaw). The pain gives me headaches and pain on the right side from my neck up to around my ear.
Any idea on what's happening or possible treatments if the pain doesn't subside on its own?
