626278 tn?1221946201 My mom just began to get really bad pain behind her left ear (she's in her 40's). It started when she woke up and doesn't seem to get any better. Nothing is swollen. She said that it hurts to open her jaw all the way as well. And that it almost feels like she has a kink in her neck. What would you diagnose this as? ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPREACIATED!!!
5555569 tn?1369800168 This is the jaw joint and inflammation of this joint can cause pain on opening the mouth and tenderness on palpation behind the ear. The pain could also be due to an enlarged and inflamed lymph node or salivary gland enlargement. Please consult a dentist for assessment. He may ask for blood tests and an X ray. In the meantime take OTC acetaminophen for the pain. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I recommend going to the doctor... Sounds like severe sinus issue?
Avatar f tn Does anyone know what pain behind the right or left ear, sometimes it is very bad could be?
Avatar f tn But since i stud and everything recently i am having a sharp pain behind my ears so any response over it? The pain is kinda similar to the pain i had when i got facial paralysis..
Avatar f tn severe pain on the bone behind my ear. I have bruxism (teeth grinding) as well. Any time I have tooth or jaw pain for any reason (like not wearing my night guard), the ear pain gets worse. Pain from the jaw / teeth tracks up to the head, behind the ears. Sinus infections definitely worsen the pain (which can spread to forehead, cheek, nasal area during infections).
Avatar n tn t help with pain until about 3 days after. By that time I I felt more shooting pain behind my ear changed to more constant electric zapping pain and my lower teeths next to the extraction sites began to ache with dull and shooting pain. and for following days the pain was spreading to teeth more in front. For all these time my dentist suspected infection and I was on antibiotics. There were days I couldn't sleep and area that pain hit changed each day.
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.
1267822 tn?1270306090 If you read my profile, I have chronic pain behind my left ear frequently througout the day when it hits it is nearly unbearable. Doctors say arthiris?? I don't think so. It is a different pain. is it possible to be a hidden anuerysm behind my ear. My Mri shows lesions but I test negative for MS. The largest lesion is near the bridge of the 2 brain halves.
1446980 tn?1286838538 Yup, I get ear and jaw pain too. My jaw feels tight, my ears feel full, kinda like I'm 20 ft underwater. I get stabbing pains along my jawline and behind my ears. My mom is a dental hygienist. Her theory is that compression or inflammation is putting pressure on the 4th trigeminal nerve. I think it was 4th. Those stabbing, sharp, shooting pains are nerve pain. Pain meds won't touch them. Neurontin could help.
Avatar n tn https://youtu.be/x6pAud58Tj8I have headaches, sore teeth and jaw and pain behind my ears and temples. There is a clicking sound heard from my ears but also hear similar crackling sound when moving jaw so believe it's not to do with my ears. Have had ent look at ears previously, says they are fine. Wondering if anyone has had anything firmiliar. haven't found any videos with this same sound. I am not opening and closing my jaw in this just holding it slightly open. https://youtu.
Avatar f tn Not affecting eye sight or any symtoms linked to it. Found softish non moveable lump behind ear feels like its attached to jaw bone. But if i open mouth or turn head lump disapears.... Most symtoms popped up after i found that lump behind ear i was thinking most of my symtoms could be caused by anxiety and depression because i had no problems before i found it ... If it is cancer i wont get treated by kemo or radiation i will posibly do surgery...
Avatar f tn I am 40 years old and have been living with knifing sharp ear pain in my ear for many, many years. I have managed (somehow) to block it out, although sometimes it is not easy. I apply pressure to my left ear when the shooting pain starts and hold it there for a few seconds until the pain subsides. I always had ear infections growing up. A few years back, I went to the worst ENT I think on the planet.
Avatar m tn My daughter has been experiencing head pain around her ear, above and behind and the pain radiats to her lower jaw ... she noticed this 2 days ago and the only thing she recalls that can have an effect on her was that she wore ear phones in music class and wears earrings..but I don't know if this contributes to the pain or caused it.. I gave her tylenol yesterday and it didn't help so today I tried Excedrin....What can be causing this pain?
1748247 tn?1311799602 My take on this is that what ever this lump or knot is behind my ear has nothing to do w/any salivatery gland, because the lump is behind the ear and not in my mouth. 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.
Avatar n tn Inside of my right tounge was sore , This morning i woke up my whole right side of my neck is sollowen and theres pain when i touch it on my neck where the glands and my jaw bone below my ear is sore . Help !?
Avatar n tn It was non tender, until a few days back. I noticed that it was tender and the pain was radiating to my jaw and my inner ear. A dull type of a pain. Nothing that kept me up at night or req me to take pain killers. My doc told me to monitor it for a week to see if it enlarges and if the pain persists...and old me no to touch it. I have had my widom teeth removed and i have no dental infections. I havn't had a cold in awhile now, and i usually don't catch the flu or cold so quick.
Avatar f tn hello, you could have tmj-temporomandibular joint disease-it does cause dizziness, headaches, pain in and around the ear, pain in the jaw and jaw clicking and popping. there are some good articles on the internet they give you more symptoms and info about it. i am not a dr-- i do not know about fever-chills and throwing up. with that it could be something else. sounds like you may need to see a dr and let him or her decide what is going on. good luck and hope you feel better soon.
645390 tn?1338555377 When I was having severe jaw pain radiating to the ear and whole side of my face, both of these worked for me.The pain was the same as TN, in fact, they were having trouble edeciding if it was TMJ, TMD, or TN. It turned out to be an internal derangment of the temporal-mandibular disc. Cause by arthritis, the disc has shifted out of place. I didn't even know the jaw had a disc, LOL. I hope this helps you some, I know how painful it can be. Maybe from too many loud fireworks?
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with TMJ even though I have no clicking or popping or jaw problems, only pain in my ear right side and around my ear in a typical TMJ pattern. Recently, for about two months I have been getting sharp shooting pains in the back of my head and around my ear. It may happen once or twice a day, lasts for about 3-10 seconds and then goes away. It does not happen every day, I would say in the last month its happened once per week. Today is the worst I've ever experienced.
Avatar n tn For as long as you've had them, it would probably be good to see your doctor. Did they all appear at once? Also, have they grown in size since you discovered them? If not, it's likely nothing to worry about but I'd confirm that with your doctor.
Avatar m tn The swelling and pain could also be due to mastoiditis, which is infection of the bone behind the ear. This happens when there is a middle ear infection, which spreads to involve the mastoid bone. You may need to consult your primary care physician who will examine you and initiate appropriate therapy. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
