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,.

Probably not an abscess.  It sounds like you may have a TMJ problem.  Any pain when opening and closing?  There may be some inflammation in your joint that's causing a knot feeling and pain on pushing.  It could also be a muscle around the joint that's tender and knotted up as well

Also doctor I noticed I cant "pop" my jaw on my right side anymore where the issue is located. I can only do it on my left side. The right side doesn't make a sound or anything. Just thought that might mean something.

It is more towards the inner part of the ear.

This part of the mouth i believe where the spot is, is in charge of opening and closing the mouth.

And this spot is on the jawbone or more towards the inner part of the ear?  If its in the jawbone, maybe a wisdom tooth.  Its hard to say what it is.  Sorry.

Cornoid area. Temporal mandible area. Doctor so do you have any ideas of what it maybe. I know that you cant tell from just words without seeing it yourself.
