What Causes Pain In Jaw Bone While Opening Mouth?
I am 15, an get injured really easily. I also have an igg subclass 2 immune deficiency. But anyway, on to my problem.
So I went to a concert On Friday, and the mosh pit was like insane. At one point I fell down in the pit, and got a little trampled before being helped up. I was a little bruised for a few days, but nothing too serious. But now I'm getting kinda worried cause now on the side of my face, just a tiny bit above the top of my jaw bone is hurting like hell. It doubt hurt much when I'm just sitting, but when I open my mout wide, it hurts like crazy. And when I touch it, even with just a little pressure I practically scream in pain. Now I'm a very stoic person, but this is really starting to worry me? What could I have done to it? Is it serious? Should I go to a doctor?

Additional Details
I had originally been worried about a dislocated jaw because I used to have really bad tmj, but it's above the jaw, and the only reason it hurts when I open my mouth is because the my jaw bone slides over the hurt area, putting pressure on whatever it is that I hurt.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.
Read your query.
An injury due to fall and accident has to be compulsory evaluated by the doctor.
Since you already have a TMJ issue ,please visit your oral and maxillofacial surgeon and get the full mouth X_ray done to check on any bone injury and get the treatment done.
If not visit your local emergency.
For pain you can take Ibuprofen ( if you are not allergic to any medicine.).
You need a complete evaluation ,so please go ahead w.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
