Avatar f tn Acne on only one side of the face, especially on the lower jaw, is probably do to sleeping with that side of your face on the pillow. Warmth and moisture (sweat and/or drool) will increase bacteria growth on your skin thereby increasing the chance of getting more pimples/acne. Try to sleep with your mouth closed and facing uphill to keep the drool inside your mouth. Change your pillow case as often as possible (every night if you can). Wash your face every morning as soon as you get up.
Avatar n tn Swollen glands a and everything. Pressure on one side of the face and jaw. MRI and Xrays all normal. Mine came and went and now is chronic. Please let me know. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I have previously had a lump on this side of my face, but it was dismissed by my dentist and my oral surgeon as a minor swelling/potential abcess (though it was never diagnosed as such and that lump was on the right side of my face but in the middle of the cheek and again, not affiliated with the teeth or jaw). Can anyone advise as to what this may be or give me advise as to what I should do next?
Avatar n tn I just had this pain on the left side of my face. I just experienced this this morning. it went for an hour then it disappear, and suddenly i am experiencing it again. i dont have any dental problem. the pain is specifically on my jaw part and cheek part. my left shoulder and neck is affected too. the left part of my head is affected too. the pain is bothering me.
Avatar f tn For the last year or so I have been experiencing random episodes of pain on the left side of my jaw and face. It starts as a sort of a dull throbbing in my tooth and soon the entire left jaw feels that way. I notice that the pain comes soon after I chew gum or eat something sugary, or at night after laying on my left side with my face on the pillow. Sometimes I can even be doing nothing and the pain will begin. Unless I take a Tylenol, it takes about 15-20 minutes for the pain to subside.
Avatar f tn Along with all my other pain back, hips, hands, i have had this pain on the right side of my head just behind the ear about the size of a tennis ball. As the day progresses the pain/pressure gets worse. Its such a concentrated pain it is very strange. Would love to hear from someone.
Avatar f tn On Monday felt a little pain and discomfort which gradually increased through Tuesday and still experience pain and discomfort on wednesday. When mouth is closed there is no pain. When moving jaw from side to side, no pain. I experience tthe pain and discomfort when opening my mouth. II also noticed my face get a little puffy on that side on Tuesday. Do think my jaw is broken, dislocated, or just bruised?
Avatar f tn On a daily basis I get pulsing and sharp pain. The top of my head on my right side is really, really sensitive to the touch and it goes all the way down to my face. Around my cheek bone and jaw area. I'm not sure what this is but any help I can get would really be appreciated. Thank you in advance for taking time to respond to my question.

Avatar f tn Where to start, approx 4 years ago i was sitting at my friends home when suddenly I experienced what I can only describe as the most horrific pain in the right side of my face, from the side of my nose across my check bone and radiating through my ear, it lasted approx 4/5 seconds, it felt like a burning electric shock, (I was frozen with the impact and sheer force that this pain hit my face, I would of certainly fallen to my knees If I were not already sitting at this time!
Avatar m tn ve since then lost 3 teeth in that area and am now left with chronic right sided face pain literally the whole right side of my head. I had a MRI last month that was negative but the pain is progressing. It now includes my right ear as well. I've be treated with neurontin and tegretol with no relief. I can't even find a surgeon to do an exploratory surgery. WHAT CAN I DO I AM REALLY IN PAIN?

1755089 tn?1376053555 Have you had chairi surgery yet? I had some of the same problems. That is why when I went to one doctor before being diaganois with Chair they told me I had TMJ because my jaw hurt, facial pain, and a hard time swallowing. When explained about this I was told. Look at the big picture of your head, neck. All the muscle etc all have to work together and if one muscle is stuggling you will experiece pain in different area's of your head.
Avatar n tn thanks. I cannot take anti-inflammatories as I am alergic to aspirin and there are none that aren't in the same category. I am seeing a massage therapist today, recommended by my chiropractor. My chiropractor showed me how my jaw is actually "pulling to one side" and is out of line. He is doing adjustments and it has been getting it back in line. My whoel face hurts, including my teeth. I think I let it go far too long.
Avatar f tn I had a severe sinus infection on one side of my face, which was fixed in sinus surgery. However, I also had severe swellin on the right side of my face which was still evident after the sinus surgery. As follow up work, I asked the doctor to look at any gland damage that may be a result of my previous jaw surgery, which may be causing the additional swelling in my cheek.
Avatar n tn Also, you might go to a dentist specializing in TMJ disorders or a maxillofacial specialist, because a problem with the jaw is strongly suspect with headache on the side with jaw pain. Do you clench or grind your teeth when you sleep? I'm a clencher myself and I have both joints with arthritis and joint disc dislocations, with one of them out of place even when I open my mouth (called without reduction, I believe).
Avatar f tn I have had numbness across most of the right side of my face up through my scalp and out to my ear for 2 months now. Occasionally, the numbness turns up elsewhere: in my right shoulder, today, for the first time, in the right side of my neck and my thigh. I am also getting especial tingling and occasional spasms around my jaw. I have no other symptoms.
Avatar f tn 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. Also drugs such as Tegretol (gradually increase of dosage, gradual pain relief) Gapepentin and other drugs typically prescribed. See a Neurologist. Feel Better!
Avatar f tn I woke up about a week ago with issues on the right side of my face. My eye was extremely dry with an inability to make tears, my muscle in my cheek was not functioning and my inner ear was in pain. The left side of my face is still fully functioning. I'm not sure of what caused this. After taking amoxicillin for about a week now, my eye is back to normal working condition but my muscle in my cheek and mouth is still not fully functioning.
Avatar m tn I recently noticed that my dog looked like he had a lump on his head on one side of his face. The vet advised that this was not a lump but his bone and that the muscle tissueon the side of his face has wasted away due to nerve damage in his Jaw. He had aan operation to move a growth inside his mouth last year could this be cause of the nerve damage , the nerve being severed or damage during the operation. The vet has now put him on steroids .
