Do you have seizures: It is possible that the jaw pain is a symptom of a neurological problem itself. Do you have a seizure disorder. You may want to see a Neurologist.

See a neurologist: 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 TM joint, but not neurological disorders. See: a neurologist or orofacial pain specialist for diagnosis and treatment.
