Over the last few weeks I have experienced discomfort in the right side of my jaw in as much that when I open my mouth the jaw feels as though there is something that has to flick out of the way and sometimes it cracks, this is quite uncofortable.Last night  the discomfort woke me and I noticed that the right side of my face felt as if it had got a pins and needles sensation together with my tongue.Although my face and ear are now uncomfotable like a mild ache the tip of my tongue is still tingly, any ideas or suggestions?
Hello dairy condition seems to be related to bruise i.e. grinding your teeth in sleep. This condition hurts your jaw joint in front of your ear and if you get more severe can compress your adjacent nerves, and you might feel tingling or needle prick sensation in mouth. This condition is basically related to stress and excess workout in gym. So just be relaxed, start meditation for at least 10 minutes daily, have lukewarm milk before sleep, and start taking OTC available muscle relaxants or painkillers twice daily. If possible do warm compressions from outside on area in front of your ear. Wait for one week if you feel relaxed then continue this for 1 month otherwise see your dentist.
