What Causes Recurrent Pain Under The Jaw Radiating Towards The Neck?
I’ve had a reoccurring pain under my jaw for months. It lasts about a couple of days. I was thinking I was falling asleep on my hand under my jaw. Yesterday the pain was slightly increased than before; was under jaw and tenderness in a vertical area going down my neck. Was at dentist in last mont with X-rays that showed nothing teeth related. Dentist thought a blocked gland and suggested hot compress.In addition, a mild, shooting pain that starts in groin to lower, inner thigh. No specific location. Neither pain is debilitating or consistent. Please advise.

Hi,
The recurring pain under the jaw can be related to TMJ inflammation, lymph node swelling due to a local infection or due to cervical spondylosis. Direct examination is needed for proper diagnosis.
