Jaw pain: Temporomandibular disorders, jaw pain, orofacial pain are terms which denotes chronic jaw pain problem which is not due to any dental pathology. Your complaint is possibly due ti temporomandibular disorders. Try warm compresses over the jaws and temples along with self massaging; this might help. Advil/tylenol is also an option. You can contact an orofacial pain dentist (find one on www.Aaop.Org).
