How To Overcome Severe Jaw Pain?
I have severe jaw pain that happens spratcally & last from 5 to 15 minutes It hurts from my vocal chords area to the top of my jaw. It can happen at times when I bend over or walking or even while I sleep. But, they don t happen all the time. Lately I have the worse ones at night while sleeping, as many as 3 to 4 . I am a 66 year old female. This has been going on for 10 years but recently gotten worse. Most of the day, I feel fine. I have type 2 diabetes & had lower aorta by-pass surgery 12 years ago & also had brain surgery for an anurisim 4 years ago. thanks

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
This could be a neurological problem, or could be in relation to any long existing lesion or infection.
I would suggest you to get the examination done by an Oral Surgeon.
Take an OPG radiograph of the mouth.
Treatment depends upon the diagnosis.
Take tab combiflam BD for pain relief.
Take multivitamin suplements.
Take care!
