Where is tmj pain felt?

Question

My jaw has been hurting near my ear for a few weeks now, especially when I chew food or yawn. Someone told me it could be TMJ, but I'm not sure what that is or exactly where the pain should be.

TMJ pain is felt around your jaw joint, right in front of your ear. It can also spread to your face, neck, and even cause headaches. Many times, it's due to teeth grinding or clenching. A dentist or a physio can help.

Beta, yeh TMJ ka dard apne kaan ke aage, jabde ke paas hota hai. Kabhi-kabhi gale tak bhi aa jaata hai. Garam paani ki sekai ya halka malish karne se thoda aaram milta hai, lekin agar zyada dard ho toh doctor ko dikhao.

Oh, TMJ pain. I thought I had some serious ear issue once! But it was actually my jaw joint. It's right where your jaw connects to your skull, just in front of your ear. It can make eating and talking difficult. My dentist gave me some exercises.

Prakash Rao · Answer

TMJ pain is typically felt in the jaw joint, right in front of the ear. It can even affect your temples or neck. I remember when I had it, even softer foods felt difficult to chew. It's important to manage stress, and ensure your diet is balanced for overall well-being, especially with conditions like diabetes.

TMJ pain! Ugh, it's like a curse for foodies. It hits right at your jaw, near your ear, making it hard to chew all the yummy stuff. Imagine not being able to enjoy a crispy dosa or a crunchy vada pav properly! So sad. 😔
