Temporomandibular pain on left jaw
I am going through pain on my left jaw. I have visited a dentist and we had an X-ray done for diagnosing any teeth issue, however everything seems healthy. I am facing discomfort near my ear. I tried to find if any specific point aches by pressing points from my ear to my jaw and sensed that a point ahead of my ear aches. After searching on internet it is supposed to be temporomandibular issue. Is there any way to relieve out of this situation ?
Many thanks.

First I appreciate you went to a dentist to rule out any dental issues and got a X ray done.
TM joint has an articular disc which sometimes gets inflamed and causes pain in chewing and opening mouth .
Next Steps
You will need some anti inflammatory drugs for 5 days and get physiotherapy done for TM joint , wherein your therapist might give you some Ultrasound and manipulate the joint .
Health Tips
Apply some hot fomentation at home over the affected area for 12 mins 3 times a day .
Wish you speedy recovery.
