When I yawn the side of my neck hurts, the side of my temple hurts my ear hurts.

What the heck is going on with me this time?

Everytime I yawn really big the side of my head hurts, the back of my head hurts next to my ear, and the side of my neck hurts.

I dont get this!

Its really scary because its hard to explain the pain, and where its located.

I have neck problems and tmj problems and both of these can cause the symptoms you are describing. With me its usually tmj that causes the most pain around the ear and side of head.

Obviously if it continues or gets very bad see your Dr.  Does it hurt when you chew as well as yawn??

[Tina20]

No it doesnt really hurt when I chew just hurts when I yawn, and it doesnt hurt all the time its weird :-( and scary

Could you have pulled the muscle when you were asleep or slept on it wrong? I do that all the time.

Thats what my boyfriend was thinking but I dont know.  :-( I hope it gets better soon, Im worried.

It seems like everytime i yawn  my side of nech hurts and in the front by the adams apple always hurts for some reason. It feels like i pull a muscle everytime i yawn.

[Tina20]

I dont know whats wrong with me, when I yawn it still hurts and I cant open my mouth all the way or it hurts even more.  Im scared as 0100..

In some cases if you can't open your mouth all the way and it hurts to do it that means it is usually TMJ.  Do you have cracking or popping? I would see a TMJ specialist if you haven't already. Hope this helps.

Sounds benign, but any persistent pain should be investigated by a physician.

I get this sometimes. I think it's just TMJD or from grinding / clenching your teeth at night. Lots of times we do it and don't ever realize it until it starts to hurt. Could also be due to wisdom teeth, if you still have them.

[Tina20]

YES I still have my wisdom teeth but it only hurts in one side, im going to the dr tomorow. Im super scared 

[ealachan]

I have wisdom teeth that only hurt on one side or the other at a time, too. Also, when I have the symptoms you're describing, it only occurs on one side...so try not to be TOO scared. I'm pretty sure they'll tell you it's just TMJD or similar. The worst they might do is some x-rays.

*hugs*

Let us know how it goes.

[Tina20]

Ok so my dr appointment is tomorrow.
I dont know whats going to happen.

I am scared,  :-(   Grrr this fear in me is so hard to just shake off,

im really worried
