Take a small lotion or shampoo bottle, fill with hot water and press the bottom of the bottle INTERMETTENTLY on the joint near the ear, where upper and lower jaw meets. Do this a couple of times a day- but make sure you don't burn yourself. This is only a temporary relief measure, but it helped my husband who was gettin headaches from TMJ. Also, do not chew gum or eat hard foods.
There is a roaring in my left ear at times and a constant feeling of ear fullness (in the beginning there was also some itchiness in the ear canal). I do have jaw problems but this ear thing has been pretty recent. Sometime there's pain and sometime there's not. I have minor jolts of pain in my jaw and sometimes in my neck. I also have an odd warm press feeling in the back of my head (same side as my ear).
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 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?
The initial pain was primarily in my ear, but then spread to other areas on the left side of my face. I do have pain in my in the upper part of my jaw near the joint, but I don't have any of the other symptoms that you listed. Could it still be Bell's palsy and why does the pain lessen when I lay down and resume when I stand?
AT THE END OF APRIL, THE PAIN RETURNED. MY ORAL SURGEON CHECKED ME AGAIN, AS DID MY REGULAR DENTIST. IN ADDITION TO THE JAW PAIN, I WAS HAVING EAR PAIN, AND THE GUM AREA (WHERE THE TOOTH WAS) WAS VERY SORE. THE ORAL SURGEON REFERRED ME TO A GUM SPECIALIST WHO SAID MY GUM LOOKED OK, BUT I MIGHT NEED AN INPLANT. THE EAR PAIN CONTINUED, SO I WAS SENT TO AN ENT DOCTOR WHO SAID MY EAR LOOKED FINE.
s all the teeth on the upper left side...the pain can also extend into my jaw area..and sometimes that whole side of my face has a "numb' feeling. I can never really pinpoint where the pain is coming from. It can be a constant aching - or even a "decay" feeling like I have a cavity. I can still chew on that side - it's sometime a bit sensitive to cold, but not overly so.
Then I started with a twitching in my left upper arm near my shoulder, now I have this constant ache in my left shoulder, and sometimes it feels like a vise on the left side of the base of my skull, when it's like this I get this bug crawling sensation near my left ear and onto my face. Could this be some type of injury or tmj? Any reply would be greatly appreciated. There is no facial pain, but sometimes my left ear will hurt. Thank you very much. This is starting to scare me.
•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.
It sounds as if you may have TMJ.Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Syndrome is hard to diagnose and will cause excuriating pain.
Here are just some of the symptoms...
Pain in the facial muscles and jaw joints may radiate to the neck or shoulders. Joints may be overstretched. You may experience muscle spasms from TMJ syndrome. You may feel pain every time you talk, chew, or yawn. Pain usually appears in the joint itself, in front of the ear, but it may move elsewhere in the skull, face, or jaw.
I got up, I had burning and pressure in the upper part of my chest, neck, jaw and ear. I thought I would die before I got to the ER. I was in the hospital for 3 days before having a heart cath, which the doctors said my heart was fine. While in the hospital they treated by giving me 325mg aspirin, pevacid, lovanix , activan, anti-nausea drugs and pain killers. I didn't have any spells in the hospital. Now I am home and I just had two hours of numbness in my neck, jaw and ear.
Hi there, for me it started when i lose my voice (not competely) but no pain in the throat area. then area around my left jaw joint area (below the ear) starts to feel uncomfortable especially every time i moved my jaw or open my mouth wide to eat something. i dont have toothache etc. then i start to have running nose and nose block. i went to see a GP, he say there is slight infection in the ear and nose. i was on medication for 6 days.
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!!!!!!

Hello,
For the part 2 weeks, I have been experiening pain when I open my mouth wide on the right side. The pain is right in front of my ear (upper jaw area). The pain is not there when I talk, chew, laugh..etc. Only when I open wide like to brush my teeth, or bite down on an apple...etc.
I don't hear any popping, clicking when I chew, talk o laugh. I am really worried to if I am developing an issue with my TMJ joint? Or something else all together.
One of these two teeth had a root canal this fall and had 4 roots. I have had such severe throbbing pain in my upper jaw it is unbearable. The pain feels like it's between the teeth, but shoots to my temple, around my eye, and below my ear. I went back to my dentist this past week, and he removed one of the temporary crowns (the one that had the root canal), cleaned/dug around it, and replaced the temporary crown. He took an x-ray and said things looked ok.
