Definitely, yes: due to a bilateral spasm of the Lateral Pterygoid muscle. Temporo-mandibular disorder is the second most frequent cause of orofacial pain after dental pain. Proper diagnosis is the key for the successful treatment. See an orofacial pain practitioner for a consultation and management.
