Severe jaw and cheek bone pain when exposed to cold wind...
I have severe pain in my jaws and cheekbones when I am exposed to cold wind, or even damp cool wind. I've been told it may be TMJ, has anyone else heard of these symptoms?
Hello,
I have exactly the same thing, severe pain in both sides of my jaw when exposed to cold wind. I believe it is due to TMJ, which is also linked to grinding of your teeth, clenching teeth together, biting your fingernails, basically anything repetitive that puts pressure on your teeth.
I would recommend going to see a dentist who has knowledge of TMJ, they will be able to tell you how severe it actually is. In my case I got a tooth guard to wear at night to prevent me grinding my teeth together, which has made my jaw more comfortable and less sensitive to cold.

I had the same problem and was eventually diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia.
