Ow!

About five days ago I started having a deep ache in the right side of my neck, just under my jaw.

It continued for a while. Now it's gone, but I have a deep, painful ache in both shoulders and my upper left arm. My left elbow has been occasionally hurting where I broke it, too. I feel as if the pain dial has been turned up over my entire body. This usually means that I'm either facing a sinus infection, or the flu.

Argh.

Or an abcessed molar.

Really? My shoulders would hurt, but my teeth wouldn't? That's disturbing!

Yeah. Jaw nerves aren't "normal" to what the rest of them in your body are like. I have a broken "upper" molar but it doesn't hurt.

My lower jaw however, does hurt from it. Nerves fibers can be up to 3ft long. And in the small space of a jaw, they have to grow somewhere. My dentists and dermatologist see it all the time.
