What Causes A Knot In The Jaw Which Is Painful While Eating?
I got elbowed in the jaw today at practice and now there's like this little knot in my jaw. It hurts somewhat when I move my jaw around to eat or talk, and it has this weird tingly feeling when I eat. It really hurts if I touch it or push down on it. I don't think it's anything serious, but I was just wondering what it is.
