Anyone get pounding head/jaw/temple pain?

I have TMJ and while Ive had pain around the jaw muscles sometimes, Ive never really had a POUNDING throbbing pain. I have had it now off and on several hours. Ive used an ice pack earlier tonight and that helped it go away, now its back. 😢 Anything else help pounding pain? Advil? Massage?

I used to have tmj. It was the worst pain in the world. I would wake up crying. It was always on my left side but it ached so bad I went to the dentist. They took out all my wisdom teeth out with released pressure and I never had the pain since.

@ScarletWitch Thats great it relieved pressure. Unfortunately my wisdom teeth were removed as a teen, and TMJ started a few years later.
