okay so my jaw has been hurting like a bitch ever since this morning. the pain on the left side of jaw where the joint meet and whenever i crush on something that jaw joint hurt.....the other side doesn't hurt , just that one why does it hurt?
Does your jaw make a strange clicking noise, or is it just painful? My jaw clicked and used to be very painful until I got a Herbst Appliance. If the pain doesn't go away by tomorrow, call a doctor or dentist.
I think I agree with TraceElement about it possibly being TMJ. I'm no dentist, but I have suffered through a lot of jaw pain.
I have also had jaw pain before too. I use to chew gum like all the time... So now I can't because it hurts to bad.
