TMJ: These symptoms could be due to temporomandibular joint syndrome. Joint which connects your jawbone to the skull. Treatments are available to help you with the pain.

Jaw Pain: You may have jaw joint dyscrasia, TMD. Please see your Dentist who can evaluate you and either treat you or refer you to the appropriate specialist. In the meantime absolely soft diet. Don't chew gum. Take Ibuprofen EXACTLY as per package instructions (don't exceed posted dosage). Warm compresses may help. But first call your Dentist for an examination.
