What Is The Pain In My Earlobe Radiating To My Jaw?

I have a pain right below my earlobe that goes into my jaw. I thought it was my wisdom tooth so I had them removed a month ago. Pain continues. Went to ENT who said it a TMJ, I went to the dentist, dentist said I don t have tmj. I am really scared it may be. Something bad. What can this be?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain below the ear lobe and jaws can be secondary to disc displacement in the temporomandibular joint. This can occur secondary to trauma to the joint or bruxism or malocclusion.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take tablet piroxicam and a muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone. You can give hot fomentation over the joint. Do not open your jaw too wide, Take soft diet.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
