Hi! Im 23 years old and was hit in the jaw by my exboyfriend once we had gotten into a fight. I cant really chew on solid food because of the pain and also my teeth feel as if they had shifted a little bit. My chin hurts a little when I touch it. Also below my ear my cheek bone aches. Plus  I cant open my month all the way because my chin and teeth on the lower level hurt. I went to a walk in clinic and they did an xray but didnt see anything. They said that my gums was swollen on the inside and said I had a contusion and had given me some pain medicine. Can you tell me what is probably going on with my jaw because I never been punch in my jaw before?
Since the X-ray findings appear to be normal I suggest you to take pain medications. But if you are not able to open your jaw/excessive pain/abnormal movement at the cheek I would suggest taking a dental opinion(sometimes the X-ray depending on the position) might not have picked relevant findings. Hope this helps. Take care
