What Causes Stiffness On The Left Cheek And Upper Jawbone While Eating?
In my left cheek and upper jaw bone there is stiffness when I eat. There is a little pain if I touch the area and the entire area can get very stiff if I touch that upper jawbone or the bone leading to the ear or if I chew on that side or brush my teeth on that side. I don t notice anything when I sleep and if I leave it alone it doesn t bother me much at all and sometimes goes away until I touch that area again. Doesn t seem swollen by maybe congested in that area.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, TM joint swelling could be the cause of this and it can be given try with Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day, it may be arthritis condition if not responded to treatment then may needs clinical examination hope this information helps.
