General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

In my opinion all these symptoms indicate a jaw joint arthritis (TMJ disorder).TMJ disorder is a very common problem, and is generally accompanied by pain radiating to ear , neck and shoulder area.The cause of this problem is difficult to determine, but arthritis is the most common cause.

I suggest you to take anti-inflammatory medication as Ibuprofen twice daily or Naproxen once daily for some weeks.If the pain is persistent and doesn't improve by treatment you should consult a doctor for a physical examination and further treatment, as Cortisone injection, or open joint surgery.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Suela Gjata,
