Pain behind ear

What causes scalp soreness on bone behind the ear

[rosewine]

I get that. I think it might be something to do with me grinding my teeth and TMJ and one of the symptoms of that is pain around the ear.x

I get this too, and my GP told me it's caused by TMJ, as rosewine has said. I find gentle heat helps to ease the pain - just be careful not to burn yourself. x
