TMJ, anyone with it get lumps around the ears? What are they?

Question

I've had TMJ problems for about a year, I get these lumps at the top of my jaw, around my ear lobes but not on them. They're under the skin, are quite small and barely visable.
I read on a couple of forums that people with TMJ can get them but really want to know what they are.

Nice! What kind of fluid is it though?

Answer 1

Fluid that builds up. Just like if you've ever had to have your jaw reset, fluid drains into your ears and throat (lovely, eh?).
