So I have been having jaw pain for a few months now especially on my right side. I believed it to be my wisdom teeth and had those removed a month ago. However, the pain has continued and the dentist found nothing wrong with a checkup.
Recently (as in this week), while I was looking down with my chin to chest I scratched my chin and I felt a painful lump on my right side near my jaw closer to where my wisdom teeth were. Its about pea sized and quite painful/sore. It is also movable. However when I look straight or up I can no longer feel a bump but the pain remains. It feels like the lump is hiding in the hollow of my jaw when I look up.
My mind immediately goes to cancer even though most signs don't point to it. Anyone have an idea or similar experience they would like to share?
