TMJ cause neck pain? Neck is sore,tender
I have lower jaw pain, ear pain with swelling for 2 months. been to many dentist. OMFS said need to remove upper wisdom tooth. So removed 2 weeks back. Still have the same ear pain, under the ear pain ,jaw pain with swelling. It now radiates to neck. I have sore and tender neck. It's little swollen. Is it normal? My dentist said it might be because of TMJ or minor tooth crack on tooth#46. So not sure about it. Taken cbct scan also. Couldn't see crack in it.
Whether this is TMJ issue? Or crack? Crack cause neck sore and tenderness? And swelling?
I feel soreness in the head too. On that right side. I feel grating sound while opening the mouth. What is the issue? Any inputs anyone?
I didn't injure anywhere. Did some chewing more than usual one day and next day jaw pain and Swelling started. It happened 3rd week of may. It's still the same till today. And neck pain started 3 weeks back. Before that ear pain and jaw pain was there with swelling. Under the ear hurts to touch.

Tmj can cause Radiating pain to neck of same side mostly.
But swelling shouldn't be there for any reason. Visit maxillifacial surgeon for further management.
