hello,
not sure if there is a thread for this but very anxious and wanted some advice ASAP =[ sorry.
i was ill with a viral infection about 3 weeks ago. very tired, weak, usual stuff...but since saturday, i had this tight pain in my neck..right behind my ear. (like when u eat something and ur glands water from the taste) very strange, never had it before. But the pain travelled around to my ear then into the inside of my mouth. Again, never had that before. Since then, the pain in my neck has gone, my ear has some pressure in it but nothing serious..but my mouth kills me. i wake up with a stiff jaw on the right hand side. but tonight i have noticed a lump at the back of my teeth, and the joint of the jaw (best way i can explain it) its like an ulcer..but not an ulcer..well it doesnt look like it. and its a bit hard. it doesnt move if i push it. but is painful like an ulcer. Doctor said i need to go to the dentist, but because i am unemployed and not on JSA..im worried its gonna get worse by the time i get to the dentist...i jus want to settle my worries
(yes i am a big worrier and google absolutely anything that i find odd with myself - bad idea and very bad habit)
further info - im 20 years old. smoker of 4years. Have had gum disease and was treated with metronidozole * i cant spell it =[* about 2months ago. But first time iv had a symptom like this. Oh and my jaw on the left hand side clicked very painfully bout 4 times since last week but not since iv had the pain in my mouth
Any advice or info would be very handy and welcome. Thank you. Rachel xx
