Members responded to someone experiencing facial pain along the jawline, nose, eyes, ears, and temples by sharing their own similar symptoms and diagnoses, with many identifying conditions like myofascial pain syndrome, TMJ, and trigeminal neuralgia as possible causes. Several members offered practical strategies including finding a physical therapist with specialized training in jaw pain who can perform intraoral work, doing facial exercises and massage available on YouTube, and taking fish oil supplements daily to help reduce jaw tightness and facial discomfort. A recurring theme was the importance of seeking professional evaluation to determine the specific cause and pursuing targeted treatment, with members expressing empathy and solidarity over this painful and often misunderstood symptom.

TMJ

I do have TMJ. It sounds familiar with what you are describing to a degree. But I don't recall it getting to that extent. I take fish oil twice a day and have been for a few years. When I have ran out or have stop taking to see if it really help my jaw has tighten up and that has radiated in my face. This shows me to get back on it.

I am not sure if this is what you have though. Hopefully someone will chime in on this.
