Do not assume and show it to the doctor. There could be a number of other reasons for jaw soreness too. Getting a physical examination from a good doctor will help you know what the reason for soreness is and what can be done about it.

Tmj stands for tempotomandibular joints. Jaw soreness is one of the symptoms of tempotomandibular disorders. Seeing an tmj specialist is advised.
