I wanted to see if anyone experiences a
similar symptom:
When I wake up in the morning, I
experience jaw pain on my left side.
Stretching the joint seems to make it
better and it eventually resolves itself
by the end of the day (slight stiffness
when yawning). This started occuring 3
weeks ago.
I could clench my teeth, but not actively
in the day.
I smoked for 2 years, but recently quit
(23 years old).
Anyone experience or have been given
working treatment options for a similar
symptom?

I have noticed that many, many people seem
to harbor most of their pain in the left
jaw and then it gradually spreads to the
right. It is very odd how it seems to
start, for a lot of people anyway, on the
left side of the face.

left side Posted: 06-28-08 15:16pm
I supposedely have a cyst under my molars
on the left side, but yea, mine in on the
right side. I did have an accident similar
to whiplash about 6 years ago , and then
after root canal on the right lower jaw 2
years ago it all went down hill. None of
the dentist even mentionee TMJ and my
orthodontist even went at lenght to fight
with my argument that I have TMJ disorder.
