jaw pain ear symptoms

I dont feel any pain until i open my jaw more than half way. My ear feels like theres a lot of fluid in it. I was thinking it might be an ear infection. But why would my jaw really hurt to open more than half way? It doesnt hurt when I chew either. Does anyone know what I might have?

It is however more than possible that you could have an infection in your jaw, say, from an impacted or infected wisdom tooth. Tooth pain can often make the ear and neck hurt as well (just as an ear infection can make the teeth hurt...). There is also the possibility that there is nothing wrong with you dentally either and you are suffering from neuralgic pain.

The area of pain can stretch from the lower jaw area right up to my ear and can even give me neck pain. It causes pain when I open my mouth wide and always feels like the bones are 'clicking' and 'clunking' out of place. I have had phisio on the joint but that is only a stretch of the muscle and the pan is always present. None of the doctors I have seen can give me a strtaight answer.

For the past 3 weeks, I have had pain when chewing or biting down in my right ear and in that part of my jaw just below the temple. My dentist and orthodontist have said my jaw is disaligned in the past (I look normal though), but I have never had pain. My back molars do not touch when I bite, and my front teeth bite right together with no overbite at all. However, the pain has just now come and seems worse when I sleep on my face funny. Sometimes it is so bad that it is difficult to eat.

I have had jaw pain for many days, only on one side, now i have ear and throat pain on the same side, and my jaw hurts so bad, like I had been punched (or so I assume) really har din the jaw. It hurts to eat, and I have pain in my ear and a sore throat.....can anyone give me advise? Bad sinuses? Time to go the Dr?

Over the course of a few weeks the pain started to subside and my jaw began to relax... Heat packs on my jaw to soothe the pain... He also suggested certain exercises to strengthen my neck and back muscles because they were weak from all the tension... I also did acupuncture... It also helped to calm and relax my muscles... Good luck!

m not sure if this is tooth or ear related. The pain is definately in my jaw, but I could not point to a specific tooth and the pain shoots up to my ear. I'll also try ibuprophen. Thanks for the comments!

m thinking it could be TMJ - which is a disorder of the jaw joint. It can cause many symptoms, including ear or jaw pain, as well as headaches, etc. Do you ever catch yourself clenching your jaw? Does your jaw crack or catch when you try to open it wide, such as with yawning? I would suggest starting with your family doctor - just to rule out any infection in the ear, however, if it is TMJ, the best person to treat it would be yoru dentist or oral surgeon. Best of luck!

I have heard the jaw shares the same nerve with the ear. If the TMJ is sore/spastic that the pain can be referred to the ear. Does anyone have experience with this situation? I also have pulsatile tinnitus (ringing in the ear to the rhythm to my heart but don't believe it is related as I have damaged my ears from earplugs/ipod music.

It started about 8month ago. Now the pain inside ear is stronger and pain ander the jaw. But, it is not constant. I have a lot of stress at work now and think that it can be the stress. I went to 2 ENT, did MRI, wnet 5 times to my enternal and no one found anythihg. My entrnal prescribed me Mobic antiinflamattory drug. I will try it.Also, the area around the ear feels tender. It all drives me crazy since no one has any answer.

Ear pain, Jaw pain and Headaches can be due to TMJ ( Tempromandibular Joint Dysfunction). TMJ is common in patients with Fibromyalgia. Do you grind /clench your teeth at night? Do you mostly get this pain after waking up from sleep? Then most likely it's TMJ. Also, If your dentist mentions that you have some teeth-wear ( Attrition), then you are most likely grinding/clenching your teeth at night. Though I don't know what the reason could be for your throat closing up...

Considering your symptoms of point tenderness and pain inside the mouth, your symptoms could be due to temporomandibular (TMJ) joint arthritis. This is the jaw joint and inflammation of this joint can cause pain on opening the mouth and tenderness on palpating behind the ear. As you have tongue ulcers, it could also be a lymph node enlargement. Please consult a dentist for assessment. He may even ask for blood tests and an X ray. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

What would cause my bite to shift to the right and pain at the joint of my jaw on the right? Could this change account for my having a constant eadache?

Honestly I dont feel any pain around my jaw, But when I open/close my jaw I can feel a cracking sound in the left jaw (yes around my left ear) but still no pain. The pressure I feel is comes very quickly either when I rest the back of my head on the chair or when I lay the back of my head on bed. Also this discomfort is very noticable when I close my eyes! Sometimes the valsava manuveur makes me feel better only for a few seconds.

I have constant ringing in my ear, jaw pain, neck pain, shoulder blade pain. I also get electric pain in my tongue, my mouth feels like it’s on fire. One of my pupils is a bit more dia later than the other. To all this I’m being told it’s just anxiety it has been 8 months of this HELL.

About a week ago, I began having several unusual symptoms that I had not felt before. One night I woke up and had terrible ear/jaw pain especially when opening my mouth. Shortly after, I had an onset of brain fog symptoms -- I just feel out of it, a little woozy and disoriented. Besides the ear pain, my head does not hurt. Furthermore, since these symptoms occurred, I have been feeling a bit of neck and upper back discomfort.

t do any norco for awhile, my jaw teeth hurt. And my ear. Sometimes my nose. So much. Will ibuprofen help? How long does it last? Want to stop but this is part of the worst symptom. 3 snorting a day. Doing my best to taper down. But this really hurts. Baths help with the else and pain. Hearing pad too. Sleeping is hard at times too. It would be better if my teeth & ears were ok. Is this normal too?

Since October, I have had inner ear pain, neck and jaw pain, and sometimes shoulders and facial pain as well. I also get headaches and sore spots on my head at times.
