Hello,

So I have a question that hopefully someone can help me answer. Over
two months ago I had a horrible pain in my jaw that hurt more when I
turned my head, felt kind of like a musicle pulling down my neck from
my ear. I went to the dentist and she informed me that I had an
infection in my widsom tooth and the molar next to it, recommended I
get it removed and put me on antiobiotics. I stayed on the course of
the antibiotics and went to see an oral surgeon, he told me to stop
taking the antibiotics and that I needed them removed rigth away
because of the pain I was reporting. I had the procedure a little over
a month ago. I was on a round of anti-biotics after the surgery as
well. Meanwhile this pain came back a week later, I went in, they said
it was just my socketts had food in them rinsed them out and assured me
I would feel better by the next day. A few days later the vauge tinge
of pain disapeared (It had been disappearing on and off throughout) Now
for the past 3 days the pain is back with a vengence. it cannot be the
wisdom teeth because they are gone, It cannot be food because I am
meticulous about this. I am wondering about TMJ since my jaw is stiff,
pops, grinds and I also clentch and grind my teeth at night (it hurts
the worst in the morning). I am hesitiant to go to a doctor right away
because they have assured me with each action that it would solve the
pain.
Pain: hurts in jaw, radiates to ear, ear hurts very bad. Pain
increasing when I twist my neck, or apply pressure to any place on the
jaw. the pain seem centralized deep in the back of my mouth and around
my ear.

Does anyone have and ideas?
