Q: I am having really sharp pain in my right temple extending upwards/more painful if i move my jaw
If you are getting the pain durning a migraine, it probably has to do with the inflammation of your trigeminal nerve. You can google it, or I have a URL to a picture below. It wraps around your ear and goes into your jaw.
If that nerve is inflamed which is very common during a migraine, it would make sense that moving your jaw makes the pain in your head worse.
Hope that helps!!!
