A member asked:
Can a muscle cramp in your jaw or neck feel like a sharp pain in these areas when swallowing? not inside the throat or mouth.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle cramps: Muscle cramps in the jaw or neck can certainly cause sharp pains when swallowing. There are a lot of muscles involved in the swallowing process so this is not unexpected.
