Anyone have a combination of tooth, jaw, or ear pain from constantly grinding teeth, flexing the jaw, or consanttly pushing against the teeth from stress? The pain is only sporadic and seems to migrate around from tooth to ear or jaw. What are your symptoms, how long does it last, what type of medication do you take. Been to the dentist teeth are fine btw. It seems this is referred pain from stressing the jaw from anxiety.

I recently started having pain in the back of my neck going up to the base of my skull and around to my jaw on one side, Hot compresses and advil and try to relax. I recently decided I am going to take my life back and not let anxiety and O.C.D. control my life.

I have shooting pains in my temple and the back of my neck. I do find myself grinding my teeth constantly which causes jaw pain. Doctor told me to chew gum to keep me from grinding which has really helped. I am now a gum addict. I have 3 or 4 packs in my purse all the time!!!!

You may be grinding and clenching your teeth when you sleep and not realize it. Try a mouth guard at night...and you can look up stretches for the jaw muscles on the internet. I have it too...and its miserable I know!
I get the same symptoms from it...the only thing that helped me was a VERY expensive mouthguard that a specialist made for me. It went over your front bottom teeth so that you couldnt clench your teeth together. Any traditional mouthguard I used I just ended up clenching down on, so it protected my teeth but didnt relax the jaw muscles. Ive heard accupuncture can work too. Good luck!
