Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The pain in the jaw bone, face and neck could be because of the TMJ disorder like disc displacement with reduction or myofacial pain syndrome. The TMJ disc displacement can occur secondary to trauma or stress or bruxism.
Nothing to worry, consult a oral physician and get it ruled out.
If it is TMJ disorder then then you have to take tablet piroxicam 20 mg twice daily on first day and once daily for next 6 days. do not take hard food, do not open your mouth too wide.
If it is myofacial pain syndrome then you have to take Flexon MR(if you are not allergic), twice daily for one week.
You can give hot fomentation over the muscles.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
