Jaw pain restricting movement
OK I'm quite lucky as I'm nearly 40 and never needed a filling, toothpain is totally alien to me so I don't know if I need to find an out of hours dentist or normal dentist tomorrow (I'm in the UK).
But today I've woken with a horrible pain around the back of my left jaw and over the day it's gone up into my cheekbone, no swelling though. I have TMJD but this isn't that this feels like i have been punched hard in the jaw. I do have impacted wisdom teeth but they're growing along the jaw and won't erupt.
I can talk eat and drink but opening my jaw hurts, again it feels bruised. It feels like a frozen shoulder only in my jaw
How can I help myself (taken ibuprofen and paracetamol) and can it wait til tomorrow?
