Left jaw pain: You have classic symptoms of TMJ dysfunction. This is usually caused by bruxism ( chronic teeth grinding and /or clenching). Bruxism usually takes place during sleep, but also often during waking hours, and is often stress related. See your dentist, or a dentist experienced in treating TMJ pain, for a diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
