Slow pain on left side of throat only
Posted , 2 users are following.
For about a week now I've had a pain on my neck that builds up slowly and then hits me hard with a sharp pain if I do something with my mouth/jaw for too much, as in talking, yawning, opening my mouth, swallowing, and chewing. It feels like something sharp poked me like a pencil. If I do something slowly however, it doesn't hurt me as much as it would if I just did it normally. I don't have any other symptomes such as a cough or anything like that as well. I tried looking inside my mouth to see if I could see if my tonsils are inflammed but they aren't. I did notice a discoloration that extends all throughout the roof of my mouth and the left/right/center side of what I could see of my throat that was sort of a green/greyish/white color.

Go see your Doctor and have your tonsils checked out. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction? Sounds like it. I have that too. My jaw hurts when I yawn, eat, ect.

Hi David
I had the same thing but it went away. My jaw would hurt when I yawned, ate, ect.
It's "Temporomandibular joint dysfunction"
Also called: TMJ, TMJ syndrome
TMD Signs and Symptoms
A variety of symptoms may be linked to TMD. Pain, particularly in the chewing muscles and/or jaw joint, is the most common symptom. Other likely symptoms include:
>limited movement or locking of the jaw,
>radiating pain in the face, neck or shoulders,
>painful clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint when opening or closing the mouth.
>a sudden, major change in the way the upper and lower teeth fit together.
Symptoms such as headaches, earaches, dizziness and hearing problems may sometimes be related to TMD.
Hope you feel better👍
