Common Questions and Answers about Lump jaw muscle

lump

Avatar m tn So I have a lump or inflammation of what I presume is a gland between my large neck muscle and under the back of my jaw line. Last week I was ok but developed a sore throat and headaches late last week and by the weekend I had a sore throat, vomited once and developed a sore neck and this lump all in the space of a day. I dunno what it is but if I turn my neck now it's not that painful but before it felt like I had strained a muscle in my neck and the lump itself is quite tender to touch.
Avatar f tn I have just found a lump on my lower jaw, underneath my ear right at the jaw joint. It is approximately the size of half of a grape. It definitely feels attached to my jaw feels like s grape- not too hard or soft. It is slightly uncomfortable when felt. Any ideas of what this might be? I am going to go ahead see an ENT- but I have month and a half before I could get in. Just a little concerned. Thank you for any help!
Avatar n tn About a year ago not even, I noticed a small lump even a bit smaller than a pea in my ear/jaw location. When the jaw is closed it resides below the ear, and when I open my jaw it moves over the jaw bone right infront of the ear. I can move it around a little bit, and it is not painfull and hasnt grown at all, just becomes a little swollen if I play with it to much. Ive gone to my primary doctor, dentist, and oral surgeon which all say its nothing to worry about, its a muscle or gland?
Avatar f tn I have a lump on my jaw just below my ear lobe. It doesn't hurt just looks like I have a gland swollen. Does anyone have any suggestions to what this might be??? I have an appointment next week to have a CT scan done but was wanting to maybe find some ideas before I have it done.
1748247 tn?1311799602 As to the swelling I feel that its to the lump behind my hear that is causing my jaw muscle and neck muscle to swell, as a defense to the lump behind my ear. I am also feeling numbness in my L. side of my face, lip and arm which she said is a nuero issue. She ordered a CT of my neck to check what she diagnosed me with to see what is the cause of my swollen shoulder. P.S.
Avatar n tn Hi, You have mentioned of a lump in the area where you feel the pain. Would you have any idea which came first, the lump or the pain? At this point, let us focus on the lump. I suggest that you have this assessed by your primary physician for any redness, warmth, and discoloration. A complete physical examination will also be able to help rule out an underlying skin or musculoskeletal disorder.
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 .
Avatar n tn A big lump in my face has swollen up. It feels like a ridge of muscle or tissue about half an inch under my cheekbone (zygomatic arch) and two inches in from my left ear. Not really painful but just feels weird and have expereinced numb tingly feelings inb the past couple of months. But I only noticed this lump about 2 weeks ago. Doc says it's just fibrous tissue or possibly swollen lymph tissue (my gums have been irritated/slightly infected recently).
Avatar f tn I've got a hard bone type lump, that's painless on my scalp, behind my ear. I've have terrible headaches on the same side too. Mostly in my temple area that radiates into my cheekbone and jaw. The skin is sore to touch as well. Feels like it's bruised. The headaches are horrendous. Facial twitching and jaw jerking. My neck feels like there's pressure on the left side (same side as lump and headache). I've got small tender lumps in both armpits.
Avatar m tn My supposition is that the product severely iritated either the salivary gland or jaw muscle during the night. The fact that there is no jaw movement during the night confined the product to a specific part of the back mouth... I hope the swelling will go away by itself?
Avatar m tn Hello. About 6 months ago I noticed a small lump, about 1 cm in diameter, around where the submandibular lymph nodes are supposed to be, just under my jaw line, halfway between my chin and ear on the left side. It is firm, smooth, non-tender, and most interestingly, fixed into the muscle. Note that it is not technically enlarged according to most standards I've read about. I found something "similar" on the other side, so I did not think much of it, just watched it closely.
Avatar f tn Had a sore throat now for 6-7 weeks, severely red throat with a blister like lump at the back of it glands have been very painful also my jaw, I've had a funny taste in my mouth and tingling weird sensation in my tongue. Also my lymph node under my left arm has been hurting as well as intermittent chest pains. Also had muscle ache and joint pain. Had glandular fever test came back negative, had in depth blood test which showed nothing.
Avatar n tn more like the jaw line - above it - and i feel no pain there. But I do feel pain on the nodules and the lump on the left side of the neck. The lump is a bit painful. It seems to be worse after eating. I saw a doctor twice last week and they both mentioned lymph node swelling and a virus condition. They also admitted that when a doctor does not know what something is they will classify it a viral condition until the point it doesn't go away.
Avatar n tn There is now a small bump located directly under my ear, behind my earlobe on my neck inbetween my jaw line and the large muscle on the right side of my neck, that little soft spot or pocket inbetween the skull and jaw.... The pain is moving into my ear and causing me to have headaches all through the day all on the right side of my head. Any ideas what this could be from? Is it worth going to the doctor for or should it go away? Thanks in advance for your help.
Avatar f tn feels like a lump in my throat; sides of jaw very sore-ENT says he thinks TMJ due to intubation during 2 minor surgeries this summer. Mostly resolves w/Medrol dosepak prior to visit to ENT(of course). Oct. 2009-weakness/fatigue in both legs which I attribute to the double whammy of seasonal, followed by H1N1, influenza that I have finally recovered from. Gradually wanes after about 2 weeks. Dec.
Avatar m tn On the side of his jaw where the swelling is there is a lump on top under the skin that is soft, but the actual jaw muscle both lower and upper towards the top of his head is much larger that the other side. The emergency vet suggested an MRI if it continues, and I'm really scared he has cancer or a tumor. I have been doing some research online and the closest thing I found was craniomandibular osteopathy, but it says that that is mainly in new born dogs.
Avatar n tn i had a little lump behind my jaw, it just seems like a small solid spherical...thing :( i could kinda move it around and stuff and when i looked down, so my jaw was pushing against it, it would move towards my neck. about an hour ago , i felt it in the middle of my neck, beside my trachea (i think) ...and a few minutes later i was panicking like crazy,and it has now moved to the base of my throat. i am extremely worried that it could move under my chest or something.
Avatar m tn can this cause my jaw muscles on that side to shrink. my jaw is quit sore and i notice that the muscles are smaller on that side.
Avatar f tn It all started about three months ago with a feeling of a lump in my throat. Not an actual lump, but the feeling of one, right below where my adam's apple would be (I'm female though). I'd feel it on and off through the day, sometimes not so bad, and sometimes very noticeable. When I eat or drink anything it gets better though, the feeling of the lump goes away.

Avatar n tn Hello, I also have a lump (size of a pea) on the left side of my jaw. It doesn't hurt, and I realized I had it about 3 days ago. The pea doesn't move and is situated just bellow my 5th tooth, in the middle of the jaw, not looking down, but looking sidewards. You need to press to feel it, otherwise the skin masks it. I do not have a cold, or any other symptĂ´me. I am wondering what to do. Go to a doctor, but maybe he/she will have no clue.
Avatar n tn I have a small like grape sized lump under my jawline on the left side and an ache in my left lower second back tooth.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have found a lump under my mouth, which is right below my gums by my jaw. What can possibly be there that would be a lump? It has me worried....I have an appt for the ENT soon but it is driving me nuts. Any suggestions would help. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I have severe pain in my jaw and it is difficult to close my mouth without tension/pain. It sends stabbing pain both in my jaw and ear at night. I also have a lump on the jaw joint near my ear!!! I has been going on since begining of september.I wake up screaming. It is like some stabbed me with a long knitting needle after held over a flame!!!!!! This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/434413'>Lump on jaw?</a>.
Avatar n tn The dentist who put my crown on after the root canal, said that the lump had nothing to do with the root canal, and that I probably always had this lump. Does this sound reasonable?
