Both jaws hurt.24 hrs later my neck, upper shoulders, back and tailbone hurt. I feel a little numbness in my face and left arm. Had a bad headache last night but not today. Pupils fine, no nausea.How long do i wait this out?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain and the numbness that you are having are likely to be due to a soft tissue injury in the area with a mild nerve fibers affection. This is likely to subside gradually in 2-3 weeks.
