A member asked:

Had chronic neck pain. now mainly in jaw left side. pulls tongue to side. aggravated. self massage not helping. laying down either. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See dentist or M.D.: Sounds like you may have TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome). You can try taking some anti-inflammatory medications regularly for a few weeks, but it would also be a good idea to see your doctor or dentist for an exam.
