I woke up one morning just before we went away in December with a very sore jaw joint, near my ear. A weekend, of course. It even hurt to talk :-0 :-D

I dosed myself with pain killers, and used both warmth and cold, it had eased a bit by Monday, so I didn't bother with either doc or dentists. Left on Tuesday, the pain gradually became a dull ache and even sometimes no pain at all. Although I couldn't tell whether it was only the joint, the jaw bone or teeth ......... it definitely hurt to eat on that side!

Had my 6 monthly check-up yesterday, told the hygienist, and she went and told the dentist. Both had a poke around my upper left teeth ....... dentist even gave me the "cold test". That meant putting ever increasing amounts of some sort of freezing agent until I yelped with the pain ............ tests the sensitivity of the tooth.

Turns out it is nothing to do with my teeth, but "Arfur Itis" has moved into the jaw joint :-(

Pity ........ something could have been done if it had been teeth, nothing can be done with the jaw except learn to live with it, and use pain killers if/when the pain gets worse. :-( :-P

Researching:
My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Still hurts but,at least I can tell which tooth the pain is coming from now so it is back to the dentist on Monday.
