TMJ Dysfunction: Sounds more like a TMJ problem. See your dentist or oral surgeon for proper exam and treatment.

Seek Help!: This is a very complex situation, with a real need to seek professional help. The jaw pain you are experiencing will likely continue and possibly get worse. Typically the longer you wait to get something evaluated and treated the harder it is to overcome. Please seek help soon.
