TMJ: This sound like you may have inflammation in your temporomandibular joint. This can sometimes be hard to treat. It is usually caused by grinding your teeth at night. See your Dentist for treatment.

Could be TMJ: There is not enough information to be sure, but it could also be an infection in a lower tooth or a wisdom tooth problem. An xray and exam will let you know for sure. If you hurt in the morning, you could be clenching at night.
