What Causes Muscular Pain In Jaw?

Hi, I have a pain in my jaw (not inside my mouth) it feels like a muscular pain in my face but only along the jawline. I have tried applying pressure to massage it, which helped slightly, but i can feel like nodules/air pockets when i apply alot of pressure. It feels like i have a bruise.

I was wondering if i need to seek medical advice by visiting a doctor/if this could be stressed related?

Please kindly advise

Thanks
