Is This Neuralga?
11 Answers
Sorry if the spelling is incorrect.
My whole jaw, top and bottom, aches. Also a number of teeth are tender. I've had it for about a week now and am taking Ibuprofen.
Should I bother seeing a doctor or dentist? Is there anything they can do?
Also, if it sounds like Neuralga to you, what causes it?

and the second-worst known to women, who also have childbirth to contend with.
Though I'd also add "root canal treatment without anaesthetic" into the mix, having had it a couple of times.
This sort of thing can just come from an uncomfortable night's sleep: you twist your neck a bit, your jaw is pushed slightly out of line, your bite goes awry, and you can get half your face aching. I've had this, and I've found osteopathy useful, just gently prodding things back into place.

Do you grind/grit your teeth as this can cause Jaw ache, I suffer from that myself, during the day my face and head ache's and my teeth feel delicate

Personally I found Gallstone attacks to be worse than childbirth..and I have given birth without any drugs or gas/air
