Q: Jaw pain after injury

asked by: barot on May 4th, 2008

I was playing basketball today, and i unluckily received a shoulder to the jaw. A small area under my lower lips is bruised, but the worst of my problems is that it is very painful and difficult to chew anything; the positioning of my jaw also feels like it is off. I have more trouble on the left side of my jaw. Any input?

it could be bruising from the injury and soreness from that----id let it heal and then come back and keep us updated. it could just go away. ice it and treat it like its sprained and use ibuprophen and keep your diet soft. and then let us know

everytime i bite down, i can feel that my upper and lower jaws are not aligned properly. the lower jaw also feels to be at a slight angle.
