What Does Painful Lump On Jaw Indicate?
My fiancé has a hard lump on his jaw right near the back. It is very painful for him. He went to the dentist and the dentist said it was nothing and nothing showed up on the X-rays but it still continues to bother him. What is it? Should we be worried?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having enlarged tender mandibular lymph nodes giving this problem.
It shows that there might be having some infection near by or in oral cavity.
Another possibility is of having lax TM joint giving this problem.
Consult oral surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
