can lower back pain, between the waist and butt cause jaw pain?

I will have a sharp pain on my left side, near the back side of my waist and the pain will travel to my jaw like an electric shoke, is this normal?

Most back pain is linked to the spine and the spine links to every part of the body, so it's not unusual for a problem or pain in the spinal area to also cause pain or problems in other parts of the body. A study was done in 2007 to see if there was a common link between back pain and jaw/face pain. They found there was a significant association between the two. You can read the abstract of the study at: "Back pain in relation to musculoskeletal disorders in the jaw-face"
If you continue to have this pain, see your doctor to try and determine what is causing it.
