facial pain
The bottom of the left side of my face is very sore. My ear sometimes hurts and my temple sometimes hurts. This is very annoying. What can it be. Dental xrays didn't show anything. Sinus medication didn't offer any relief.
Hi there it sounds like you could be grinding your teeth at night or clamping down on your jaw in your sleep. This can happen if you are under stress etc and believe you me it causes allot of pain like you are describing. I used to get the pains in the right side of my face, ear and temple. My doctor prescribed Ativan for night for one week and the pain disapeared. Have a chat with your GP. Take care.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Sharp pain in the side of face could be due to injury to a nerve or pinched nerve, an infection or a trauma. Hence it could be Trigeminal neuralgia, abscess in tooth, exposed root canal, internal ear infection, maxillary sinusitis, TMJ, migraine, herpes (recurrent) without rash or fibromyalgia localized to face.
I think you should discuss these possibilities with your doctor. It is difficult to comment beyond this without examining. A comprehensive investigation is required keeping all the points in mind. Take care!
