Temporomandibular: You might be suffering from temporomandibular joint syndrome which is an inflammation of jaw joint. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tmj/basics/definition/con-20043566 for more info.

TMJ: You may be grinding your teeth unknowingly. See a local dentist to be evaluated for a bruxism appliance.
