Because the TMJ involves the jaw joint, it only makes sense that a problem within the joint would cause pain within the surrounding area. If you suffer from TMJ disorder, your jaw joints may be misaligned. When this happens, your body will work to try to push the joint back into a more ideal position. This unconscious effort by the body creates all sorts of strain and pressure on the muscles, tendons, bones, and other body parts involved in and surrounding the jaw joint. This pressure and strain can cause all sorts of symptoms, including jaw pain that never seems to go away. Sometimes jaw pain is accompanied by other symptoms such as headaches, tinnitus, and others.
