Same problem here too. Consuming alchohol from last 6 yrs or so, but the problem starts only 6 months ago. I really got a severe pain in my jaw which lasts for about 15-20 minutes.

My brother had a similar problem and one doctor told him that it might be an alergic reaction to alcohol. I dont know how true it is or if it helps, but i hope it does.

I get this too! ...only seems to happen if i drink red wine (or sometimes beer) 5 mins or so after after food. seems to be more prone to happen with certain foods (happens a lot with curry and i've also had it with pasta). I've probably had it about 30 times.

I can actually tell when it's going to happen...there's a certain 'feeling' in my mouth before hand and I've found that if i rinse my mouth out with water it goes away temporarily but will come back soon after.

Weird.

I had the same experience for a number of years, I drank heavy for a long time 12+ years drinking hard liquor and 10+ drinking beer, I am 39 and sober for going on 6 years. I thought it may be an allergic reaction to the barley or hops or what ever I also got the pain off some foods. I read one post that they were with a doctor when this happened to them and suggested it may be his saliva gland. I don't know if it is relevant or not but in 2005 I had to have my submandibular gland removed (saliva gland) and have not experienced the pain since.
The gland had to be removed because a calcium build up formed a rather large stone and wouldn't let the gland drain properly and got badly infected, it looked like i had a baseball growing out of my neck and extremely painful.

I am going thru the same thing, it only started a couple months ago, but it seems that everytime I have some alcoholic drink, I have this horrible pain in my jaw for about 20 mins. If anyone finds out more, please post! Its an awful pain, nice to know I am not alone

stem from a slight allergic reaction. I had a major one after RED wine (pinot noir) which I'm now deathly allergic too. Becareful and consult and allergist.

I am experiencing the same sort of pain after drinking wine (even if only half a glass). It has increased in sharpness lately, but I know of no explanation.

I had serious reactions to Lipitor a couple of years ago, and I suspect it triggered fibromyalgia or something like that, but my doctor dismissed the possibility (perhaps out of fear of a lawsuit...).

I will be very glad to know the cause and/or the cure for this problem.

Wow, there are other people out there! I thought it was my wisdom teeth. Got them removed and I still get this weird pain/tingly feeling. I've also been experiencing vertigo when I lie down. It was not until tonight when I was enjoying a glass of wine after a long days work and the gym that I linked the two together. My doctor has discounted my dizziness as I am a healthy, very active 27 year old. Anyone experience vertigo as well?

Wow... I have this too. I have it right now. It's agony.

The worst time I ever had it, my glands actually swelled up and it looked like I had golfballs on my neck, it was terrible.

This is so wierd, i didnt even think i'd find anything on the web! i get severe pain when drinking alcohol. Pain occurs in my Left jaw. Last week pain also persisted the day after - when my jaw suddently snapped. -very painful event! Does not occur with any other drink. I have a good set of teeth and what i consider a perfect occlusion - i do not gring my teeth at night thus no reason to have tmj problems. I am a dental surgery student - tomorrow i'll ask my consultant lecturer maybe he'll come up with some form of an answer!! Smile
