6 Months of Pain from inner cheek inside mouth.

I believe its the arch, feels like a bone/nerve structure that is part of the connector of the Jaw and mouth.

half inch Right above the last back tooth. I'm 24, the top back teeth look to becoming in...

But anyways i felt my other side and its normal. but when i pin pointed the pain it felt like a hard small, small ball.

Doesn't move, isn't mushy. Feels like a hard rock. pain is a lot when touched, when eating you can feel it. I mean it hurts when played with the most. You can not see it. All looks normal, no inflation no discoloration.

Remember, between (center) of the top and bottom back teeth. you have to put your finger deep inside the corner part to find it.

is it a node? is it a duct? whats going on. I am very healthy. Never had any serious medical issues.

I am scared,.

I think that its a joint or muscle problem.  I hope that its nothing serious and that it turns out some home care and some anti-inflammatory medication will do it.

Is your bite off?  If your bite feels off (as in the teeth line up weirdly), it could indicate a dislocated jaw or a fractured jaw since it'd have to be quite a bit of damage to mess up your alignment of teeth.  If your bite feels pretty normal overall but it hurts, it may just be an injury to the joint which would require a softer diet, some stretching exercises, pain/anti-inflammatory medication, rest, etc.

It hurts when i eat on that side. It feels like inflammation, feels like a dislocation, or fracture of some sort. It only hurts when there is pressure on the "knot" part. But Doctor, What do you think I can do to reduce this feeling that's been with me since March.

It does seem to be a joint area most likely.

It hurts a lot when I shift my Jaw to a downward position to the left. Putting pressure on that area it seems.
