Typical tmj issue.
But rarely it could be your neck issue or radiating to jaws or tmj. Just make sure your neck issue is not worsened and then you could take an oral surgery consultation.
Next Steps
If you are visiting CHENNAI. I’ll suggest a treatment plan and a small lavage procedure after ruling out worsening neck issue.
Can do warm fomentation over painful joint.
