My pain started with my ear, now it seems to have aggravated the jaw nerve and it makes my teeth and jaw throb. i am 52, don't have tmj.

TMJ/TMD: The most common musculoskeletal disorder causing orofacial pain is a temporomandibular disorder. Tmd should be viewed as a group of related conditions that can be divided into disorders related to the muscles of mastication and those emanating from the tmj. Earache and head pressure are common symptoms due to the close location to tmj. Rec.: orofacial pain practitioner for diagnosis.

Examinations: See physician to evaluate for ear infection. See dentist to evaluate for infected toot, malocclusion, tmj. Treat the cause, not the symptom.

Question ?: No question posted. If you are asking for advice, my suggestion would be to have your teeth examined by your dentist and if nothing is amiss, have an ENT physician examine your ear.
