A member asked:
I have a pain going up the side of my neck to my ear but not my ear up to my temple could it come from getting my wisdom pulled?

Yes: Apparently it was a quite lengthy procedure and a combination of being guarding while opening your mouth and muscle spasm . The reason for that pain in your neck and radiate to your ear is coming from the digastric muscle which connect from the mastoid process of the temporal bone to the hyoid bone. Opening the mouth for too long could lead to the spasm of that muscle.
