Ear ache and the jaw pain is going hand in hand. pain unbearable sometimes causing me to clench my teeth to relieve pain. tender behind my ear and sore?

It's complicated: The ear and the jaw, or temporomandibular, joint (TMJ) are separated by a thin layer of tissue, such that pain and inflammation in one is often experienced in the other. This makes diagnosis difficult, of course. I think you should have a health practitioner look in your ear to be sure you don't have an infection. Good luck!

Call PCP: Something going on, if the pain is unbearable then ER might be the best way to go.

Ear ache: It may be ear or it may be jaw-joint (TMJ). See yourPhysician to rule out ear infection or anatomic abnormality. If cleared, then see your Dentist to evaluate for jaw joint dyscrasia.
