Hello, I have had a stiff, sore jaw for 2 months now. I thought it was because of excessive stress that started around that time period. (Perhaps I was grinding my teeth in my sleep.) Today however, I have pain in my jaw that is radiating into my inner ears and causing a headache. Should I make a Dr appt for this, or do you think it is caused by stress?
U need to visit a dental specialist. Pain is more likely due to joint pain in your jaws. Grinding of teeth and stress can cause excessive pressure on your joints leading to severe pain. Consult doctor before it gets severe.
