Pain in jaw junction left side
There occurs heavy pain in left jaw junction. It will not be continuous. But it is intolerable. This started 3 1/2years back. One doctor said it was due to wisdom teeth. I got them removed. The problem was not solved. Then another dr gave a tooth cap for the lower one and asked me to put it during night. After using it for few weeks the problem was solved. Then it was ok for 2 1/2 years. But it has occurred again now. The dr has advised to use the same cap for some more time. Now it is for every hour or half an hour and it will be there for 10 minutes. The pain will be intolerable & there will be a feel of needle inside.
