The other day I was smacked in the head
(by accident) with a 2x4. I was a little
dizzy and had a headache but had no other
problems. Then last night, it felt like
there was pressure building up in my right
ear. I opened my mouth and kind of moved
my jaw to try to pop my ear and I heard a
loud pop. Since this has happened my
right jaw is absolutely killing me. I
can't bite down on anything and when i'm
just sitting around it throbs sverely.
It feels as if that side of my face is
swollen, but when I look in the mirror I
don't see any swelling. I currently
don't have insurance but I am thinking of
going to the er because my jaw is killing
me. Since there isn't any swelling my
family thinks I am over reacting. But the
pain is excruciating. I've never had
anything like this happen before so I am
clueless as to what could be going on. If
there is anyone who could give me some
suggestions on what to do, or if this
could be serious, please let me know as
soon as possible.
