What Causes Sharp Pain In The Jaw Upon Walking?
Sounds strange, I know, but I have a sharp, stabbing pain in my upper left jaw when I walk. With each step down on the left foot, the pain shoots from my jaw to my lower eye area. It almost feels like a cracked tooth, but I have dentures, so I assume it's not that!

Hello,
It looks like nerve-related pain as the pain seems to be occurring along the course of a nerve. If you are on dentures and do not have any tooth, then it is not related to the tooth, but still, you need to get an x-ray done to get checked that you have any remaining root pieces.
Also, the sinuses need to be checked. In case if it is nerve-related pain, then you will be advised Neurotic painkillers like Gabapentin, Carbamazepine etcetera for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
