sore lump behind jaw

Hello and welcome to the forum. We're sorry you are going through this and do encourage you to be seen by your doctor or at the very least, call and talk to them about it. Is your throat sore as well? Before your wisdom tooth extraction, did you have difficulty swallowing a pill? How long ago was the extraction? The lump appeared after that or was there prior?

The area just before my right ear, where the jaw joint is, is sore to the touch with a slight raised lump. I additionally have a hard sore bump behind the same ear, as well as feel as if my gland is slightly swollen and sore. I have had headaches consistently, as well as an area on the right side of my scalp that feels sore to the touch,. with what looks like a slight rash.

I have this small lump behind my left jaw line and under ear for almost 1 years now, it does feel pain and uncomfortable, I went the 2 different ENT doctors and did 2 CT scan, one with ink one without both report come out nothing....... but the small pain and feeling it still there also feel pain infront of my ear and inside mouth around jaw join but open or close jaw doen't feel pain. So should I try a different ENT again?? or can this be cancer?? what should I do now??

I've got a hard bone type lump, that's painless on my scalp, behind my ear. I've have terrible headaches on the same side too. Mostly in my temple area that radiates into my cheekbone and jaw. The skin is sore to touch as well. Feels like it's bruised. The headaches are horrendous. Facial twitching and jaw jerking. My neck feels like there's pressure on the left side (same side as lump and headache). I've got small tender lumps in both armpits.

i found a pea size lump just behind my ear at the corner of my jawbone.. it doesn't move or hurt. does anyone have any ideas of what it could be?

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.

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...

i have a hard lump under the bone in my jaw i went to the dentist he gave me antibiotics but they dont seem to be working its really hard and a bit bigger than the size of a tooth its unmoveable and not sore more like pressure what should i do?

Last week I was ok but developed a sore throat and headaches late last week and by the weekend I had a sore throat, vomited once and developed a sore neck and this lump all in the space of a day. I dunno what it is but if I turn my neck now it's not that painful but before it felt like I had strained a muscle in my neck and the lump itself is quite tender to touch.

Last tuesday i had a lump biospy under my jaw... well its going to be a week already and i been having a horrible sore throat and earache... My question is could this be of the fine needle biospy? Im so scared that the lump is causing all this... By the way i been having this lump for atleast 10 years... Should i be concern about the sore throat and earache?

When I woke up this morning a left a lump on the gum of my upper jaw. I could not see it as it was too far back in my mouth, but it felt like a blister. There was no pain with it and even more surprising is that after a couple of hours it went completely away. I also checked my vital they they were all ok, pulse, BP, temperature. I am completely baffled by this as I have never had something like this happen before.

THREE DAYS AGO THE LUMP WAS SORE FROM THE OUTSIDE. MY DOG HIT MY JAW AND PAIN SHOT INTO MY EAR. IS THIS AN ABSCESS TOOTH OR IS THIS FLUID FROM MY EAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY AFTER TWO ROUNDS OF ANITBOTICS IF THIS IS AN ABSCESS IT HASN'T WENT DOWN.

About a week and half ago, I got up twice during the night that I know of and when I woke up next morning, we were sitting at the breakfast bar and I was complaining about sore teeth, aching right ear and a sore jaw on the right side when my partner noticed that I had a huge bruising and a lump and a very swollen jaw. I have no idea what I done to cause this.

About 8 days ago she went to the doctor with strep-throat. Now today I noticed she has a lump behind her right ear, should I be concerned? I read it could just be her body fighting the infection. Should I get her to the doctor or should I just keep an eye on the lump for a few days? She is 8 years old.

Recently I found a small soft lump in my throat under my chin at my jaw line. I have had a sore throat and then I notice the lump. My sore throat went away but the lump is still there. Sometimes I have pain in my throat near the lump but it only lasts a second and then goes away. It's on the right side of my face, nothing on the left. Should I be alarms or does it just sound like swollen lymph node?? Help!!

Soft cervical collar for driving, etc will help. I have one from a whiplash(what I think made my Chiari symptoms worse) and I wear it on longer drives, sometimes around the house, if my head is feeling extra heavy or neck extra sore. Try it. I have very sore spots back behind my ears too. They do feel lumpy. I never noticed if they swell. I can't wear hard headbands, my glasses have to be adjusted so they're loose behind my ears.

I have a hard knot/lump on my lower right jaw bone behind my wisdom tooth which is still there. I noticed it yesterday and it makes it hard to close my mouth or eat on that side and it's painful. I just wanted to know if anyone might know what it could be. I have jaw pain from time to time which makes my wisdom tooth ache because I have TMJ, so my doctor told me last year. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

hey, i have just noticed that my left jaw bone is sore and i can feel a medium sized lump under it. it feels circular and tender and i'm worried it might be cancer plz give me some replies I'm scared. The lump hurts too.

Well about 5 years ago maybe more at the age of 9 I found a lump behind my right ear it was movable and was absolutely painless I forgot about it and didn't tell anybody because I was so young.

Hiya, I've had a lump behind my left ear for a about 3-4 weeks now.. It's small & hard & it isn't sore or tender at all.. I had a cold about 3 weeks ago so I presumed it was something to do with that, & my Dr. said it was when I went to see him, however, my cold has been & gone & all that's left is a sore throat.. But it isn't sore all the time, just at night when I'm sleeping?

I have a lump on my jaw just below my ear lobe. It doesn't hurt just looks like I have a gland swollen. Does anyone have any suggestions to what this might be??? I have an appointment next week to have a CT scan done but was wanting to maybe find some ideas before I have it done.

The last few days that area also feels like it is getting a hard lump under my skin, but this lump is not sore,warm like the boil behind my ear. My right side upper shoulder/neck is also sore. When I turn my head right it is sore. I'm not really sure what this all means. Do you think I should go to the doctor?

Thanks for your help! The lump is acutally on the front of my ear-It's parallel to my earing, it feels as if is's attached to the inside of my earlobe and the side of my face. It is NOT behind my ear. I have looked at a few "maps" of the body's lymphatic system, and the lump does not appear to be located where a node would be present. It is rock hard and doesn't move. Also the pain is minimal, and it only hurts once in a while.
