Jaw Pain

[Meg03]

My (left) jaw has been hurting for a couple days now. I didn't do anything to it. Just woke up Thursday morning to a dull, ache! I wish it'd stop. Not sure what to do. Tried ice. It didn't do anything--except make it cold.

Hi Meg

There's a tiny jaw joint that can become inflamed!. Are you in a flare by any chance?. If you keep off chewing on that side it should improve. Hope it does. X

Hi .. I get trigeminal neuralgia as an added extra - this causes varying degrees of pain and an inability to eat on that side, the pain can be located to just top or bottom jaw or both, some teeth or all of the teeth .. it can last hours days or weeks.. not sure if this may be what your describing

Thank you for the replies. I am sorry others had this. It is quite painful.

I AM in a flare and this morning. EVERYTHING aches...including my eyes which I thought Fish Oil was helping. Oh My!

Prayers for all of you! We don't deserve this. ❤️

Please go and see your doctor I had similar symptoms and mine turned out to be Bells Palsy. Don't leave anything to chance. Better safe than sorry.

I usually get that pain. I have Lupus and that's one of the joints that get swollen. It's so annoying as I have to eat less and mainly liquids. That's what've worked in my case. To let it rest, and some cold/hot pack.

Best wishes,
