i have similar pain on the right side too. Before I mention about my problem, I did have my tonsils/adenoids out at age 12 and had teeth problems since, very severe pain as a teen with cold weather, I now in my 50s have a full top plate and only front bottom and suffer daily with jaw pain.
It all kinda started after the 911 tragedy, that october i had this flu like problem lasted till the spring of the next year. After that i had had earaches, headaches, under my tongue. From that spring till today....I've been to multiple ENT, dentists, Neurology, medical physcians with no conclusive diagnosis to the pain. For a while they called it trygeminal myology (but the diagnosis didnt fit, it was under the face)and tmj and both were dropped as a diagnosis. I recently went to a civilian doctor who tested for "epstein barr virus" and turns out that it showed negative BUT showed that i had had it in the past. I do get rashes on my chest and neck, my under eyes are almost black now from years of pain and the symptoms are now and have been going down my neck to my shoulder, a little now on my back. MRI/sono-grams/cat scans show shoddy lymph nodes in neck and recently found a cyst on my thyroid. My Question is why haven't they wanted to remove these nodes that swell and are apparently getting bigger. they use the term small level 11...but there are numerous swollen lymph nodes. And the pain under my jaw feels like a horrible infection. Lately the pressure behind my nose and eyes/neck and jaw has cause worse dizziness....to the one point i almost past out.
