Dr. David Satloff answered

Perhaps, but: It makes more sense to find out what is the cause of the pain and dyskinesia. The most common cause for such pain is an unresolved infection draining from an unhealthy tooth. Dyskinesia can be a local factor related to the TM joint or a systemic factor, such as a stage 2 Lyme Disease manifestation like Parkinsons Disease or MS.

I feel large lumps on both sides of my neck, under my jaw. I'd say they are about an inch or so wide. Could those be my submandibular salivary glands? They don't really move. They are not hard, but not squishy either. They don't feel like lymphnodes?

A member asked:

The bottom of my left jaw is bigger than the other and it bulges out causing my face to look unsymmetrical. Is this an issue with my wisdom teeth or salivary glands? Or could it be because I chew on one side more than the other?
