About 3 days ago I started feeling a minor ache around the bottom left jaw towards the back. Two days later after eating, it came back and got worse like a big toothache but it doesnt feel like its my teeth.  it stopped for a bit and then came back when I went to sleep. The next day after breakfast, I was in traffic and it came back, this time it would go to the left temple. When I got to work it came back as well. Then when I was eating lunch it started to come back but then disappeared. I did get kneed to the jaw the day before it started at a rave and I also fell to the ground because my friend decided to jump on me. I also found out I have 5 small cavities; I'm not sure those have any relevance.

    Are you wondering why your jaw hurts after getting kneed in the face? I'm confused by this

      Im wondering if the reason for my jaw/facial pain is result of the knee or TN. If it was the knee it would be more sore rather than an ache.

    Hi lockjaw1,

    The one thing mentioned that made me think maybe TN was traveled to temple. One give away is feels like electric shock. Does it ? If so, see a neurologist.

      Hi Eddie,

      No the pain is like a toothache, throbbing. There is no shock or other sensations.
