I think it is more like a dull ache that comes and goes. A home remedy that I would recommend is to open your mouth wide and then allow your front teeth to gently fall on something the diameter of your wide-open mouth, such as a carrot or cucumber. This will allow your jaw muscles to relax and stretch. Do this only to the extent that you feel comfortable.
