I'm a 16 year old female with the right side of my jaw locked. Is it just inflamation or lock jaw? I really can't afford surgery, but I can't eat any solid foods (which is what I mainly eat) because I can't chew. It's been like this for 2 1/2 weeks...I've been to the doctors about it, and they said that it's not a big deal until I can't eat. Then it's a problem.
I do believe I have TMD. About a year ago, I started hearing a cracking noise in my jaw, and then about 3 months ago...it went away. But my right ear started to hurt. 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 )...

Hey everyone, I am 22 years of age and having a serious problem and really needing some help desperately. I have extreme pain from a inner big lump behind my left ear, right above where my jaw bone and neck meet! I’ve had it for many years, and over the years it seems to be getting worst.

I had a temporary filling about 9 months ago before travelling overseas.
I was told to come back after my 2 month trip to have the proper filling put in.

3-4 weeks ago my jaw locked up after scuba diving. I thought it was just due to clenching my jaw while diving. My jaw eventually was able to open later in the days and began jaw exercises to get more mobility. I can chew but still can't close or open my jaw on the left side all the way. The muscle is very tight. I have had a slight ear issue as well and assume they are related.

Thanks for your help. I went back to my oral surgeon. He gave me an anti inflammatory and exercises to do. I'm also putting moist heat on the area 3 times a day for 20 minutes. I've also been instructed to eat soft foods and I can't chew gum. I have a follow up in two weeks. How long do these symptoms usually last?
I have two large mandibular tori (and a palatal tori, too). I had surgery two weeks ago, and got a long cut (more like a long, deep gouge) along one of the mandibular tori from being intubated. The cut has slowly been healing with white granulating tissue being replaced with pink gum tissue, though it has not completely healed yet. I've been trying not to chew on that side, as eating irritates the cut.
My jaw has been aching on that side the last couple of days.
head aches in the temples, click/pop in the jaw when opening my mouth more than a few mm, jaw dislocating and clicking when I talk and chew.

A constant ache in the jaw, sometimes fuzzy ears. - that's my jaw been sore to touch my cheeks near my ears, feeling bruised.
Hi I am posting this bulletin to help me out with my situation. In the beginning of October I gave oral sex to a guy. About the end of november I went to get hiv tested, and of course my results where negative. I probably went and got tested to soon. but I have another scheduled test in february. Just to be on the safe side. Before that I have had 4 sexual encounters. I have been tested for hiv 3 times counting the one I just did for the last enounter.
The TMJ could be the cause of pain in jaw and teeth aching, even possibly the ringing in the ears. TMJ is a disorder that affects the muscles surrounding the jaw and if untreated can cause headaches, muscle pains, ect. I've had both neck and ear pain as a result of clenching my teeth or chewing to frequently and I too have TMJ. Continue your therapy by using the mouth guard as directed and try to keep spacing between your teeth to relax your jaw muscles.
I have had three rounds of injections in the mandibular joint. I have a stiff jaw, hard to open wide enough to eat, sore but no visible swelling. Back in the 80's I was a chairside assistant and seem to remember something about gently chewing gum to exercise th e joint and get it to loosen. Is this still ok? How long can I expect it to take for my jaw to loosen up enough to eat with out difficulty?
