I don't suffer from this myself but I believe there have been fairly recent discussions here about ear and jaw pain. You might try searching for past posts. Did your dentist say anything about you grinding your teeth in your sleep?

So sorry you have to deal with this and hope you find some answers.

No they said it doesn't look like I grind my teeth.. I posted something about ear and throat pains a few weeks ago but no one seemed to relate! I will ask my doc today!!! Thank you

I've been having jaw pain recently too....but it's when I'm eating something chewy. This morning I had a flourless chocolate cookie from Starbucks and could barely finish chewing it as my jaw just felt so worn out....crazy! I'm not sure if I find my teeth at night but I have had issues with biting my cheeks and tongue during the night.

I have jaw pain as well. My dentist felt my jaw and told me that the large muscle was in spasm. I can actually feel it with my fingers on my cheek where my jaw meets. Feels like a hard ball.

my daughter is struggling with TMJ at the moment. Her jaws make a loud cracking noise when she opens her mouth wide - have done for years. There was no pain - just noise. Then suddenly her jaws would only open part of the way and then "lock". The joints are very sore and she is on mostly soft food that doesn't need much chewing. The doc put her on a muscle relaxant and we gave her a different painkiller with codeine. We also got her a gum guard to wear at night. Five days later she is doing a lot better. She was singing yesterday and is just starting to eat a bit better.
The doc said she had damaged the joint and it would take about three months to heal properly.
Not sure if any of this helps you - but this is our experience with it.

Massage the muscle that goes from behind your ear down your neck.
Do not crunch your shoulders up.
Do stretches side to side, tilt head side to side, use biofreeze and rub it around your neck.

I get the same pains and have had two cat scans with dye, showed nothing.

I started doing the above to help myself. I also rotate my shoulder to help.since pajn can migrate from the back.

I have also been to endodontist, oral surgeons, you name it. Found nothing. I never use to have this problem with fibro but I have has the last few years.

I also been to two different ENTS.

Oh thank you!! I will try that!

Sometimes people in pain tend to clench their jaws even while awake- also stress and/ or anxiety can cause a person to clench.

I am having left jaw,ear, and face pain, but I have an ear infection on the left and fluid in both ears and a sinus infection and a virus.

I just started wearing my mouth guard again about a week or so ago - I do grind my teeth at night - the teeth on left side are especially worn down - I am pretty sure I clench at night too. Now that I am aware of it I will catch myself clenching during the day.

My jaw has hurt. Sorry

Ambercollins ,I`m sorry you`ve got another symptom that`s causing you discomfort.I also have this pain ,which my dentist says IS TMJ ,and ,on researching tells me it`s very common with FMS patients.
I`m on very strong meds for fibro/ddd/arthritis etc ,but none help with this.
Have you discussed this with your dr?Often ,inspite of it being *kind of) dental related drs...especialy those with a good understanding of fibro and its` wide degree of areas affected by painful burning/stabbing/aches and pains.Maybe he/she(?) can offer you something ,even if it`s advice on how to alleviate the pain when it becomes overwhelming.
sending you much love ,and extra gentle hugs..xoxoox

oh,sorry ,forgot to say I have tinnitus aswell.My left ear`s the worst affected ,and I`m almost totally deaf in that ear.

Does it feel like a buzzing pain or fuzzy or like a lot of pressure in your ears? I get jaw and eat pain and that's what it feels like to me, I haven't been able to figure it out!

I get jaw and ear pain which seems to be viral/sinus related and found eating oranges(Vit C ) cleared it up. A friend with jaw pain who was negative for TMJ was also told it was sinus related. Isabelle1954
