What Causes Pain Near Left Side Of The Ear?

I am having pain near the leftside of ear since last Saturday. No ear infection. Pain is awful when I attempt to eat or chew. I had a dental xray on Monday...No sign of TMJ, but it feels like my upper jaw near (L) ear is fracture or something....

I wear a full lower partial...that is ill fitting....due to bone lost



I have seen a doctor and nuerlogist to rule out "TN" trigeminal neurelgia
