I have condyle worn down on right side, and possible osteo arthritis here. Has anyone experienced swelling and achyness behind the lower back molar and up, inside the mouth? It also aches on the outside below the earlobe, this usually flairs after being up for about 3 hrs....Biting on these back teeth hurt too....I wear a nightguard and have had my bite adjusted twice. I feel like my face is swollen over there too. The constant pain and discomfort of this all is really getting me down. I take meds when I can't stand it, but do take a med to sleep, as anxiety was really making it worse. Dentist says its possibly muscular,as sometimes my neck aches, but the swelling achy feeling is scary. Everyone around me is tired of my sad face. Any insight from similar peeps?
