Why does the bone next to the ear hurt when you eat?

The place of the bone next to the ear is the temporomandibular joint, if pain occurs when eating, it is because the temporomandibular joint is required to exert force when biting. There are usually two reasons for pain in this place: First, temporomandibular arthritis, usually because of local cold or people who often talk, eat or bite, resulting in local chronic sterile inflammation, temporomandibular arthritis can usually be localized by applying heat Or with infrared radiation, as well as with all of the moxibustion, can promote local blood circulation and eliminate inflammation. Second, it may be caused by local accidental injury, such as after a facial collision, resulting in a sudden displacement of the temporomandibular joint, and then reset, resulting in damage to the joint capsule and the surrounding ligaments, this situation as far as possible to rest, avoid eating, and even not to bite hard bones, generally rest 1-2 weeks or so, the symptoms will improve.
