Could be dental : If you've had any recent or previous dental procedures done, where your mouth was kept open for a long period of time, this could theoretically cause iatrogenically induced TMJ to occur, which is the temporal mandibular joint . If that's the case, this actually that involves the neck and head too, referring into the eye area. Bruxism or grinding teeth can too. Both can be treated successfully by a holistic dentist, or also cranial dentist.
