Avatar m tn the left side of my neck hurts toward the side (main muscle/tendon going down from the jaw to the shoulder, and under my jaw, from what I can tell is inside my jaw. there are ridges on my jaw towards my chin that hurt, and also the space in between my jaw hurts. Don't know if it is glandular or tmj related. odd stuff. Cannot see my doc until next Thursday. anything that I can do?
Avatar m tn 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. Here's a list of specialists in Connecticut... Hopefully one of them is close by: http://tinyurl.com/cdsyxt Adam Tanase, D.C. www.drtanase.

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 m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Let us know what the doctor said. My jaw also hurts along with neck and back pain and also the front of my neck is under muscle strain constantly. Just had the C4-C7 fusion and didn't help jaw pain at all. Would like to hear what your doc said. Thanks!
Avatar m tn Started last week with discomfort in my neck when moving pain progressed across my shoulder now has gone up to my ear and across my jaw just on my left side.Any suggestions?Could it be caused by window open in car on that side.
Avatar f tn Are you having any numbness or pain in that area? It could be that the vein is caught and crushed a little from 'popping' your jaw. The veins go in under and through the jaw bone to meet up with arteries, which go in your neck. If it gives you more problems, then a visit to the doctor would be sensible. I doubt it is anything to worry about too much, but just keep an eye on it.
Avatar n tn The pain can come when a person is hungry or stimulated by food. 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn Usually they give patients antibiotics and pain medications. Some pain and swelling are to be expected, but if you think it's more than expected or you are not on antibiotics, give the dentist a call to report your symptoms.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn This may sound odd but the pain on my left side stopped without any treatment about a week ago. Thing is now I have the same feeling on the right side of my face. There seems to be a little swelling just under my jaw a little bit under my right ear. What can this be, it can't be just coincidence.???
1947337 tn?1331423890 If it is a bad tooth im really scared to go to dentist because I had to have 2 jaw teeth pulled about 6 months ago because they were so bad granted, I have never had bad teeth before, anyway, getting those pulled were excrutiating and I was in pain for 3 months in my neck and jaw. I did not know at the time that I had chiari or I might have not had them pulled. I was only diagnosed about a month ago with a 20mm extension. Fixing to start PT and on pain meds, valium, and steroids.
Avatar f tn I will go see a cardiologist next week. She did do an EKG and my HR was normal. I have burning stabbing pain under my jaw line, entire neck sides, throat sides and behind my ears, the pain runs all the way to the back of the head. They did an MRI of the neck and everything was okay. But when she felt my neck under my jaw line, it hurts when she just touches the area. She says she is pretty sure it is inflamed arteries. What can you tell me about this issue?
Avatar n tn Of course I have the jaw pain and ear pain associated with the biting down on my jaw. But I have never had muscle twitches in my neck. Anyone have any answers?

Avatar n tn bout 3 months ago I started to get a dull ache and some light shooting pains in the muscles under my jaw in my neck. Then I started getting some shooting pains in my jaw line. Totally random. Sometimes at the tip of my jaw, sometims right at the jaw etc. Moves around with no consistant pattern. It built up over a few months. 4 weeks ago I woke up in the middle of the night with excrusiating jaw and even cheek pain under my eyes. Sometimes even areas of my teeth hurt.
Avatar f tn That would be a lymph node. Probably a local infection or virus can do it. I had a swollen lymph node in my neck and it turned out to be something viral.

655242 tn?1229472744 For years I have thought I had TMJ but just recently I started having right sided pain like headaches that go behind eye and into temple, cheek pain, teeth pain, neck and throat pain. I was stretching my neck when I felt a tight band like thing under my jaw. It is REALLY tight too...feels like a rubber band stretched until it is about to break. Is this my stylohyoid ligament? I was trying to figure out what the heck it was and this is the only thing I could come up with.
Avatar f tn I would suggest seeing a chiropractor. I have a bad disc at C5/C6 and when I get this, (also get jaw pain which can radiate into my ear) I go to my chiropractor and she fixes me right up. Good luck.
Avatar n tn I have pain on the right side right under my jaw joint, where my neck starts. I also have this unbearable ear pain in my right ear. It feels like it's full of pressure. Can somebody tell me what it is! I don't know how to fix it!
Avatar f tn I think I have TMJ, although no dentist has agreed with me, but my jaw clicks and I can see it shift when I open my mouth. So now I have this jaw pain that almost seems connected somehow to my neck -- just not sure if it's a possibility?? And how can I relieve it??!!?? Any input is appreciated!
