[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 230795, member: 4085"] I can think of two possibilities, apart from TMJ. I get/have had both so I can vouch for the pain. First is an impacted wisdom tooth. All four of mine have played up over the years and the cure is permanent & simple if brutal - extraction of the offending tooth. Second, which is ongoing for me, is a slow draining or blocked salivary duct. The saliva builds up and causes pressure leading to pain. A slow draining duct can be managed by pressing on the back edge of your jaw with two fingers. This squeezes the excess fluid out and relieves the pressure, pain relief is immediate. You will need to probe (gently) for the slightly bulging spot where the pressure is. My dentist says he can cure it permanently but it is surgery so I'm not rushing into it unless it becomes an actual blockage. A blockage needs to be dealt with, promptly. Just my $0.02 worth, Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
