jaw pain near ear

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?

•Pain or tenderness of your jaw •Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints •Aching pain in and around your ear •Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing •Aching facial pain •Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth TMJ disorders can also cause a clicking sound or grating sensation when you open your mouth or chew.

had a stabing pain behind left ear, it was between my ear and jaw bone, recently had two teeth pulled near the front. it hurt when i open my mouth and the ice cream made it hurt. I also have a sinus infection and sore throat.

Is it possible to have arthritis in the jaw? I get pain in my jaw right near my ear, and I get pain in my ear, especially the left one. I also get a sharp pains in my head on that side. I am worried. Doctors are not really giving me an answer, and I visited several dentists to check my teeth and for TMJ. My jaw kind of clicks when I move it, but not really any pain in my mouth. Since I have arthritis in so many other joints, is it possible to have it here too?

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...

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!!!!!!

I have been to the Dr many times, ruled out everything (sinus, migraine, etc) I went to a neurologist a couple of weeks ago, he suggested a MRI and MRA of the head (its scheduled for next week). Last week my right jaw near the ear and ear started hurting still hurts, (also head still hurts at times). the pain fluctuates. My question is will the MRI of the head show TMJ? I have been reading about my symptoms and it sounds a lot like this, since the jaw and ear started hurting.

It started near my ear and has progressed over the last few days. Now the pain is in upper and lower jaw to the mid line. VERY uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what is causing it.

I got my thyroid blood test and scan. Blood test said everything was normal. Scan showed Multinodular Goiter. The Dr. said to wait 6-8 months to see if there is any changes. Meanwhile my ear and jaw is very painful. Sometimes my shoulder near the neck joins in just for fun. Swallowing is sometimes hard and choaking on food is alarming.

It feels tender and sore and it is only on my right ear. The pain seems to be concentrated around my ear. I am currently in Europe for six months, without health insurance. What should I do? For years and years, I would chew on hard items, like tops of water bottles ( I know gross habit )...and I have always been known to chew gum! So I think my TMD is a direct result to me not taking care of my jaw. I also have hypothyroid and take medication every day. Please help...

Over night however, I was extremely sick and on Wednesday the dentist changed my meds. On Thursday my face near my jaw really swelled but my teeth no longer hurt like they did. That pain is now bearable. Today I saw my doctor who also could see no obvious signs of infection even though my ear and throat now hurt. He said something about neuralgia and to go and see him on Monday if things don’t improve. Any idea as to what’s going on would be greatly appreciated.

can make a difference and cause pain. He said he thought the pain was muscular. My jaw hurts from the joint near my ear and sometimes the pain travels down to my front bottom tooth. Any ideas? What about when the permanent crown comes in? Will it still hurt? This really stinks because it didn't even hurt when I went in for my checkup and cleaning. Now it's constant pain.

I have a small lump near my ear right above my jaw bone. It's not visible. It doesn't hurt but when I press it I can feel it throbbing. I've had this for years and it hasn't effected me. But I'm starting to wonder if it could be something serious.

It hurts to turn my head to the right (keep in mind it is my left ear that hurts) and touching my ear causes near vomit inducing pain. There is a spot just below my ear that if I massage it, the pain subsides for a minute or two and then starts back up. Usually, if I can lay still and/or go to sleep the pain goes away and may not resurface for several days but always comes back. I went to an ear doctor but since it wasn't an actual infection he did not offer much help.

I have pain when I try to brush my teeth, and if I try to push my lower jaw out to line up my teeth there is pain near my ear. How do I get my jaw back on track so to speak?

ve been having some pain in my jaw (not affiliated with a tooth) and today I noticed a swollen bump right on the jaw line on the right hand side in between the chin and the back part of the jaw near the ear. The pain has been throbbing and has radiated all along the right side of my face, primarily including the inner right ear, the right temple, and of course the right side of my jaw.

ve had a really puffy left cheek and a lot of soreness deep in the muscle at the jaw bone joint and near the ear. The cheek itself feels numb. I had my wisdom teeth extracted about two years ago, but I'm not feeling the same sensations on my right side. What do you think this could be, and what kind of specialist should I see about this?

Hello. I am a 17 year old male. Recently, (within the last 5 years) I have begun to experience issues with my jaw (this pertains to my hearing). These issues began after I was punched in the jaw. My jaw is constantly popping, catching and locking. This is extremely painful. I've been to the dentist and he told me I possibly have TMJ. Just recently, (within a week) I was eating and my jaw caught and produced one of the worst pains i'd ever felt.

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?

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.
