Is It Normal To Have Severe Jaw Pain Radiating To Ears Post Jaw Injury?
Hi, I was assaulted one week ago. I was punched at least twice, but only remember the first punch . I was hit hard in the eye...and then hit again which broke my jaw. I have seen a surgeon....and don't need surgery on my jaw as long as the break stays stable. But after my appointment with him..the next day I had a really bad pain that radiated from my jaw up into my ears and on into my head. Now I have constant ringing in my ears...along with a muzzy feeling. Is this normal after breaking a jaw? I have another appointment to see the surgeon in two weeks, should I see someone sooner?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi,
You should see a doctor sooner.
This most probably looks like artuculating disc injury which is a part of the TMJ.
Investigations like an OPG or MRI will confirm the diagnoses.
Also he surgeon will be able to diagnose well by checking TMJ movements n palpating over TMJ.
