What Causes Jaw Pain That Increases When Bent?

i have jaw pain. nothing seems to be helping it go away. Ive tried Aleve and ibuprofen (not at the same time), but it doesnt seem to help. My teeth dont hurt and i can open and shut my mouth without it getting worse. I can also eat without it getting worse. When i bend over it hurts more and then when i stand up straight again the pain is relieved for a moment. Heating pads and cold packs dont work either. i do have sensitive teeth but when i feel pain from that its completely different to me. I have no other symptoms or do anything different for my jaw to start hurting, it just happens.
23- female- 5'7''- 135 lbs.
no severe medical problems.
have had sinus infections among other cold and viruses before.
I also get sinus headaches occasionally.

hello thanks for consulting at hcm,,jaw pain could be due to referred pain from maxillary sinus,,since you have history of sinusitis and headaches,,and also due to teeth being symptom free i,e no deep dental caries, and calculus,,so either ways you need a consult with a oral physician for a check up,,you may need x-rays like iopa radiograph,, paranasal sinus view-- to check for opacification of maxillary sinus,, you take steam inhalation,, it gives relief,, also drink warm water,,also check the vitality of the teeth involved on the pain side,,plz consult a oral physician for the check up and treatmen,,hope it helps..take care

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The type of pain what you are giving suggests that you are getting pain because of sinusitis. consult a ENT surgeon and get the sinusitis treated. consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out any tooth infection. i hope my answer will help you take care.
