While playing hockey several weeks ago I was hit in the head with a high stick. I was wearing a helmet and facemask. Unfortunately it didnt help as I became very dazed and dizzy. The biggest thing I noticed, however, was how I was only able to bite half way down due to unbearable pain in my jaw that proceeded to my right inner ear. The next morning I was able to bite all the way down but the pain was still there....I still feel part of this pain today and need to find answers. Currently, when I move my jaw up and down I feel a small popping sound in my right ear. Also, when I bite down and hold with pressure I begin to feel crucial pain in my right ear. Chewing sucks. Anyone have any idea what can be wrong???? thanks..
