For the past few days I've had a very painful jaw at the joint. Eating is painful but I can't see anything inside my mouth that looks like it would cause an issue. It's now feeling like there is a painful bit starting around my ear when I bite. The mrs and friends think I may have an absess but I've never had one before. Me being me I'm thinking the worst but what do you think?

Is this of any assistance?

I'm not a Dr mind!

Oh great. That's most of my symptoms! Will have to visit the dentist and see what they can give me as normal pain killers are doing jack

Went to see a doctor this morning and she said it looks like I have this TMJ. Got to eat soft foods etc and rest my jaw and swallow plenty of Ibuprofen.
