It's been 6 months since I have pain I my left jaw. In the month of December, my impacted wisdom tooth were removed. Initially i had pain in upper and lower jaw but after removal lower jaw pain has subsided but upper jaw pain is still there. The pain is generally inside the jaw towards the left side beside where the teeth was removed. Is it a tmd issue ? If yes whom should I consult?

Greetings
The pain after extraction of impacted wisdom teeth could be because of many reasons.
To name a few:-
1. Broken tooth/root fragment inside the jaw
2. Fractured bone piece near around the socket etc
My advice would be to consult a dentist for the same. They might run few diagnostic xrays to confirm the reason for the persistent pain.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist, preferably an Oral Surgeon
