TMJ?: Could be jaw joint problems (TMJ) or an infection. Best to see a dentist.

Joint pain: The area you are describing sounds like it involves the area of the temperomandibular joint(tmj.) in most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders can be alleviated with self-managed care or nonsurgical treatments. Usually limiting motion and an anti-inflammatory regimen go along way towards helping pain that occasionally occurs.

Sounds like TMJ: Sounds like TMJ/TMD. See TMJ/TMD specialist. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
