First, I am already working on getting a doctor/dentist appointment, but I've been traveling a bit lately so its been hard.
anyway, I've had a weird jaw pain lately, was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing or has any idea what it might be.
It came out of nowhere as far as I can remember, no injury or anything. It is a pain in the right side of my jaw, only when I bite down hard/chew, and it hurts more if I shift my jaw towards the back of my head. It doesn't hurt when I open my mouth. It doesn't hurt if I push on my jaw with my hand, neither does it hurt if I push down on my teeth with my hand with my mouth open.
Anyone have any idea of what I might be expecting when I get to the dentist/doctor? I don't grind my teeth at night or anything. The pain kind of settles down at times, but only for short periods. the pain isn't too bad it is just really aggravating and annoying. On a side note, I have been having headaches lately too, which is rare for me. Also some pretty bad pain in my shoulder last night, but I am 99% sure that is definitely unrelated, and is gone now.
