Hi dear ,

As per your query you have pain in jaw neck and on top of the ear lobes . The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition in with there is problem in temporomandibular joint ( TMJ ) . There can be many resons for TMJ problem but in your case it seems to me that the reasons for TMJ problem is bruxism ( clenching of teeth at night ) , which further occur due to misalignment of teeth stress or any dental infection . I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor will examine TMJ physically , may order CT scan to consirm the diagnosis and rule out condition like cervical spondolysis . Doctor may prescrine muscle relaxant and give night guard . For now do stretching exercise , facial muscle exercises and physical therapy of neck , shoulder and facial muscles .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
