Sounds like you are clenching your teeth during sleep. This puts pressure on your jaw and can also include the ear giving you ear problems (such as pain in the ears.) If not treated it can cause TMJ in mainly women, but also some men can be affected by this. TMJ can cause considerable pain and the person with it may not be able to open up their mouth that far. See your doctor and he may refer you toyour dentist to have a bruxing guard you wear at night. It is also a good idea to take up Yoga or some relaxing techniques to relieve as much stress in your life as possible. Swimming, walking is a good way to rid the body of stress.

Why do you have jaw pain and neck pain?

There are many causes as to how Jaw Pain can occur. Sleeping on one's side with resting the Ja on a hard surface can cause jaw pain. This can be severe, tingling pain to the right or left side. It can be so harsh that it will even cause the pain to start in the throat when swallowing. To get some relief from Jaw Pain, try not to give much work to the affected area and avoid pressing the jaw to a hard surface in sleep.
