Topics:jaw painear painsharp pain

Every morning I wake up with extreme pain on right jaw bone and right ear, what might cause this?   It seems to mellow out a few hours after I wake up, unless I yawn, and then a sharp pain occurs.  I am going to try to make an appointment to see the doctor, but generally, I can't get in for a month or so.

I also have a problem with this, and it has been suggested that I grind my teeth while sleeping.  There are remedies - check with your dentist.  Good luck!

i was diagnosed w/ fibromyalgia a little over a yr ago and jaw pain is one of my symptoms. if the doctors cnt find anything wrong i would look into that. i also get random sharp pains in my ears. im guessing its probably a muscle spasm. looking into that myself. my jaw gets real tight and hurts really bad, i usually try stretching it open and finding ways to try and relax it. there are other symptoms too like migraines. like i said i would look into it b/c its an invisible disease that docs usually overlook. real hard to diagnose
