Common Questions and Answers about Sore jaw hurts to chew

sore

Now i'm not sure what it is, but my jaw hurts pretty bad. It's only on one side and it's where the bottom jaw and upper jaw connect on my right side. I think it might be the fact that I only chew on that side? Or it might have something to do with the weather? It started this year about a month or two ago. So any suggestions on what it is?

I saw my doctor, today, and he said my ear looks fine, but my throat looked a little red. It dose hurt more when I chew. I could possible have a sore throat and not really notice it (I take high doses of pain medicines for an unrelated medical disorder), but I am not running a fever. Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this, or have any possible insight? The pain is very intense.

Now I have a canker sore on the left, lower side of my mouth (not on the gum), and I'm experiencing jaw pain in the same area, under my neck. I can feel where the vein is pulsating with my fingers. My teeth don't hurt when I chew on that side, and there's no sensitivity to temperature (obviously the canker sore stings when things get into it). The jaw pain didn't start until after I started using mouthwash in addition to brushing.

It feels sore in my left side of the mouth, it hurts when I try to open it, when I chew... and even when I put my tongue out. I remember before this happened, like a month or two, I had a cold, and I kinda had a hard time hearing, the inside of the ear would hurt and it felt itchy. And from time to time I would get like a sharp pain between my jaw and throat. Right in the line that the two meet... it still kinda sore if I poke it.

This was Saturday night, and today (thursday) it is still giving me problems. The pain is off and on but it is the worst when i move my jaw from side to side, when i chew, when i sneeze (very painful), and occasionally when i yawn or open my mouth wide. Like i said that is only occasionally. When im eating it hurts after a eat a little, at first its not to bad.

Can jaw pain and constant sore throat be a symptom of Fibromyalgia / CFS. I was diagnosed with CFS a few years ago and had glandular fever when I was 19 (am 48 now) but have had bouts of feeling flu like and general fatigue over the years. I have had a consistant sore throat, bit of ear pain, swollen glands and jaw ache, plus sharp pain in jaw when trying to eat, for over a month now. Dr gave me antibiotics but it hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced this please?

hello, i accidently bit the side of my cheek n now there is an open sore which is located back toward my top widsom tooth on my left side now its not only causing pain in my cheek but it also is causing minor to medium pain in my lower jaw... it hurts when i talk, eat or just even have my mouth closed... i believe that the open sore could be infected but still not sure... is there any way to possible help the pain without pescription medicine? maybe anything over the counter i could take?

Well, my teeth are all fine. I brush regularly. If it is a dental issue, I don't have dental insurance, so I wouldn't be able to do anything about it. My fever is increasing. I do have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. I am hoping to at least get some antibiotics. Today, I noticed a discoloration on one side of my face. I have been eating nothing but soup & yogurt.

so now this is making me wonder if this is just another MS issue. the left side of my jaw hurts like crazy and feels tight.it hurts to close my mouth all the way and hurts to chew. i already made an appointment with my dentist just incase. but by the list i put up top, nothing shocks me anymore. any thought?

Ive never been able to chew gum for more than a few minutes at a time or I get an achey sore feeling in my lower jaw...My bite is off... Now, lately when I eat unless its soft food, I get the same achey tired feeling in my jaw muscles. It seems to be both sides..not just one. I do tend to clench my teeth when I sleep...and I feel more relief when my mouth is slightly open...anyone have any suggestions on how to reduce this achey feeling in my jaw muscles when I eat?

even when chewing something soft like a noodle even the slightest pressure on the fillings hurts but clenching does not hurt at all.

i yawned and felt a pop below my right ear. now my bottom jaw really hurts and it feels like my mouth is tired. it feels like i have been chewing gum all day and i haven't. does amyone know what this might be? and anything to do about it?

the pain is constant chewing, talking, opening, sleeping, walking, eating, swimming...ALL THE TIME!! my ear on the side of which my jaw is hurting is now also contributing to the pain, it feels like something is pushing on my tragus and deep down into my ear!!........ Oh, and yes, i have been to my family dentist and he told me that i am probably grinding/clenching my teeth ( which i strongly disbelieve ( no headaches or signs of bruxism)) and he gave me a nightguard....

I just remember before i experienced this vertigo, many time when i open my mouth wide it locks, and it takes me a few seconds to return it in normal. After that i felt that my jaw hurts, then few weeks after that i then experienced this severe dizziness with vomitting. Its been almost a year now, i still experience this slight vertigo, dizziness, blocked nose. really don't know what to do, PLs help!!!! Thanks and God Bless!!!

I was chewing some bubble gum last night...and my jaw, neck and throat are muscular sore...wonder if it is related?

I would wake up in the morning with a really tense and sore jaw and my teeth would ache - especially the molars. Since I've stopped, the grinding has gotten much better so I think there is some connection there.

HELP! I got home today from class & my face feels swollen & numb in some places. Not unlike when you go to the dentist. My jaw bone is really sore too. I looked in the mirror & my cheeks do seem a little puffy. I am worried that maybe I came in contact with something & it's already making me sick. A couple of things about my own habits. When I am stressed, I tend to put pressure on my jaw by biting down. I don't realize I am doing it at first, but I stop the moment I do.

I have had a similar symptom. First I would get get an occasional feeling of cool liquid in my year but nothing is there. About a month later, my jaw on the same side as the "cool" ear got real sore. It has been a month or so now, with the jaw still sore, and the ear getting those cool liquid feelings now on a regular almost constant basis. Hmm... TMJ? I have some rhumatoid arthritis in my family. Maybe I am disintegrating. Just my luck.

Anyway, after getting the proper filling (bottom right side of mouth, about half way along right side), It's been two weeks and I still can't chew on that side because it hurts so much when I bite down, it's very painful and giving me pain all up the right side of my jaw and into my temple. The dentist said it might take a while for the pain to go away when he did it because he had to clean it out, but 2 weeks seems like a bit too long to still be feeling this kind of sharp, constant pain.

I then began to experience slight jaw pain in the area below the ear. Hurts when I chew. Internist xrayed my jaw to rule out TMJ, and that came back negative. He has no other suggestions. I went for about 1 1/2 weeks until this past Monday, with no feeling of fullness or anything. The slight jaw pain was still present. On Monday, it begun to feel not normal again. I don't necessarily have ear fullness, but the area behind my ears near the jaw feels odd inside.

the lesions in the CNS don't themselves hurt, becasue there is no internal sensation within the brain. However, if the lesions are very new and large, and have a large amount of edema around them - they may act to casue pain in the head by exerting pressure within the skull. This would be the same kind of pain as increased intracranial pressure. Diffuse headaches, vomiting, change in consciousness, etc.

It doesnt hurt to chew or anything else. Also when I do atempt to open my mouth wider..it feels like it pulls on my ear a little. Any ideas?

since then i've been having a pain on my right jaw joint. At beginning I had no pain unless I chew food long enough then started to hurt and also gave slight poping sounds. Now it seems there's a dull pain when not even eating, slight headache, neck pain just below right jaw, also several times a sharp ear pain occured enough to woke me up in morning. Im going to try eating soft food/soup now see if it cures the problem. Or should i go to dentist now? Thank you.

I had teeth crowned and now I have a major tmj problem and you hardly ever see me being social anymore I hate the way my teeth look, I hate when I talk my jaw hurts, I hate that I dont have all my natural teeth anymorem, I hate that I have tons of fillings, I hate having kept it a secret, I hate having to lie to my dentist telling him I was bulimic for all these years cuz I just could never ever be honest of what was really going on, I hated having to lie about it to everyone, I hated having to

zone between the two sore spots now. The spots hurt BAD though. Bad enough to wake me up constantly. The one on the lower right side definitely hurts worse, and it's definitely more in my throat than in my mouth like the first one. I saw a doctor today, and he said almost nothing helpful. They did a strep test which came back negative, and he said I should probably wait it out. He looked in my throat and didn't comment, so I'm assuming he didn't see anything remarkable.

* Sore swollen tonsils (but not largely swollen and with no white marks - like a mild sore throat, worst at night) * No fatigue (other than I am in pain constantly - but without the pain lots of energy as usual), no change in appetite or weight * At the beginning of this felt I had a slight fever for a day and a half, at which point I was fatigues, but since then no fever, no fatigue * Difficulty performing daily tasks like driving a car, brushing my teeth, until after around 3pm * Feels like p

Hi, A small hard lump like that sounds like a resolving abscess. It's possible that tooth has a small crack in it that xray cannot see. If that is the case, the pain won't go away and a root canal is in order to see if the tooth can be saved. Many times a very small crack below the gumline can hold if it has RTC and a crown. If it gets too wide, the tooth has to be extracted.

I felt okay after some time but when my wisdom tooth started growing, the gum was dark red(the gum above the wisdom tooth) and i noticed somekind of boil in the place of extraction,extra bump(swollen lymph) in between my right cheek and jaw, almost where the tooth was extracted and then i noticed other two growing under my chin(one sub-mandibular and the other one, on the upper right side of my throat). I went to many dentists and they said there must have been a tooth broken in the gum.

My entire jaw on the right side of my mouth just hurts continually, it is painful to eat even the softest foods, my jaw on the right side aches, & my sinuses are so sensitive that I can barely touch them. When I went to the doctor yesterday (a walk-in clinic as my doctor is not open on Saturdays), he prescribed the antibiotic, but did not do any x-rays or blood work. I am afraid I have an infection in someplace other than just my sinuses, like my jaw.
