Can touching your jaw continously by pressing on the outside cheek cause jaw discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes I imagine it can, done agressively enough. But there is more to the story isn't there? What is bugging you and making you perform that manipulation repeatedly. Is there an underlying irritation or discomfort which is causing you to do this?
