Yellowish brown what: Many possible causes for pain including, but not limited to:  tooth , gum, sinus infection, jaw joint dyscrasia, etc.  Please see your Dentist for differential diagnosis and treatment plan.  This probably isn't a DIY project, get professional help.

TMJ ?: Did this issue happen suddenly or have you had pain for a while? Although it appears to be TMJ related, it can also be muscle trismus or issues with your wisdom teeth. Needs to be evaluated, so call your dentist who may refer you to an oral surgeon.

Accepted Answer

Teeth or Sinus: The symptoms that you describe could be caused from tooth problem or sinus inflammation/infection. The cause can be determined but it requires a dentist to evaluate you in person with the help of x-rays and a clinical exam along with a medical and dental history. We can't and shouldn't  explain over the internet how you self determine a differential diagnosis.

Question 7

i keep getting rash on left side of face?

Accepted Answer

Eval: This can't be diagnosed with the information that is available. A history, physical examination &amp; other studies may be needed to determine cause/causes.

Question 8

i have, pain on the left side of face jaw why?

Accepted Answer

Left facial pain: This may be your TMJ joint or muscular pain. The joint itself is very mobile and the disk in the joint is very mobile as well. The disk is often out of proper position, as the disk attachments may have been stretched. What you feel is the jaw bone sliding over the displaced disk, a "catch" often with a popping noise as you open. The management of TMJ disk problems is usually conservative unless pa.

Question 9

how come i have spasms on my left side of face and stomach ?

Accepted Answer

Anything: Most people think their whole abdomen is their stomach, but the stomach is in the upper middle or upper left of the abdomen.  If your lower abdomen hurts, that could be your skin, muscles, bladder, uterus, or intestines. If the upper part of your abdomen hurts, it could be acid reflux, pancreatitis, or other problems. See a doctor for an assessment.

Question 10

pain on lower left neck and left side of face slightly weak?

Accepted Answer

Face weak.: Lots of reasons for neck pain but if the left side of your face is weak then you need to see a doctor right away. Weakness in your facial muscles is not normal and could be signs of a stroke. There are other causes but you should be seen soon. Bells palsy can also present as weakness. Either way you need a doctor to evaluate this and right now. Early detection is very important.
