Does anybody have trouble with random tingling type pain in their lower jaw? Not even the whole jaw, just the back corner below the earlobe. I don't have any problems chewing but keep getting these random pains!

Yes I get this. Mostly when I'm anxious. I have tmj tho so I kind of assume it's to do with that a bit. It's such a weird feeling and no idea what it comes from.

Hi! Do you have pain when chewing? I read that tmj makes it painful to chew but I'm not having that.

Sometimes, most of the time my jaw cracks a bit and can get stuck in a position.

Hi nickie420,

I know this was awhile back for you but I've recently started experiencing this sensation so I thought I'd reach out...

I've been going through a very stressful time and been having panic attacks....

The pain is like an mild electric, tingling, shooting pain in my jaw that is very sudden. Did you find out why you were experiencing this?

Thank you :)

Hi! I never actually found out what it was but it still happens! I've been told it could be fibromyalgia, TMJ, anxiety, referred pain from my neck or shoulder!

It's usually only on the back corner but it's like a quick strong tingling or sometime electric type pain. It's very sudden when it happens.

Have you seen a doctor for it?

Yes. I'm currently in testing to rule out more serious diseases that anxitey can mimic. Waiting on MRI result for my head. Next are for my spine.

My current symptons are burning tingling sensations

Twiching

Headache on and off

And this jaw pain that comes on maybe once a day
