it doesn't sound good. I say, see your doctor. There may have been some complication after the birth that is just now manifesting itself. Don't wait. You have a child who needs you to be healthy.

Your headaches and pain may be the result of a number of conditions in the head, neck, and of course the TMJ. Most pain resulting from headaches is the result of muscle. If you have several missing teeth or you have a poor dental bite then you should suspect a TMJ. If, however, you have poor posture, a scoliosis of the vertebrae, a short leg, poor upper respiratory function due to nasal or pharygeal obstruction, your condition could very well be referred pain from the neck region giving you the false impression that you have a TMJ problem. This is to name just a few conditions which could cause you the discomfort that you are experiencing. Find a craniofacial pain doctor near you by visiting the website www.aacfp.org

Sounds like you have a case of TMJ. You should see a doctor they may refer you to physicall therapy and you may need to see a dentist, based on what the dentist says you may need to wear a mouth piece to help iwth the head and jaw pain.
