Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
husband got hit by a baseball in the side of the neck and now has pain in the opposite side jaw and upper shoulder area. He did bite his tongue close to jaw linewhen it happened, so that could account for jaw pain, no pain or bruising at impact site, however. I ve read that we might be concerned about restricted flow due to possible injury to blood vessels, but no other symptoms other than what I ve described. Are there any immediate concerns?
There is possibility of injury to tempero mandibular joint,[jaw joint]
Laxity or tear of ligament can lead to persistent pain.
So I will advise you to consult a specialist and do further investigation.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
