So earlier today the joint of my jaw began to bother me. It's the left side. Shortly after the bebeginning of the discomfort it began to ache even more. At first it only bugged me when I opened my mouth but then any movement of my jaw aggravated it andeven hurt while It wawasn't moving. I noticed that the pain was also in my ear. My jaw itself didn't hurt, just the part where it connects to my face. I then remembered feeling a pea sized ball or bump around that area the last couple of days. Right now it doesn't hurt as much or consistent as it did earlier but I'm smoking heroin which obviously helps. Does anyone know what is causing this? I'm 18 so it might be wisdom teeth but it could also be an ear infection because of the bump. Also Someone said it may be tmj. Any idea?
