Oral Facial Pain: Good day; Before considering any ear/ muscle pathology, I attempt to evaluate the stress you may be experiencing on a daily basis. Symptoms like you are describing can be attributed to TMJ Syndrome. An oral medicine oriented practitioner is recommended. Relaxing muscles around the joints, discussing issues like work, relationships and family concerns may cause the symptoms to disappear. Good luck!

Not meds alone: Medications can assist in reducing some of the symptoms, but a knowledgeable dentist, skilled in the treatment of myofascial imbalance, can reduce the obvious muscular effects that you are feeling. Fabrication of an appliance you wear in over your teeth can balance the muscular forces. There are other treatments also available, but you need to see a skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeon/dentist
