See a doctor: Pain in the jaw, head and neck can be caused by many things from a tooth abscess to a pinched nerve in the neck. I recommend an evaluation by a physician to find out the cause so that it can be treated.

As your pain is: worse on arising, have your dentist check for clenching or grinding while you are asleep. If the finding is positive, a simple inexpensive night splint will alleviate your pain.

I keep getting head aches that start around either eye, usually my left but now starting at my right. The pain is usually one sided and very strong. Today I have taken Tylenol and ibuprofen in rotation as well as napping to try to kick the head ache and nothing. I am unsure why I get these and they seem to be getting more frequent. Head aches?
