ear/jaw pain and butt pain- help!

[vampybear]

Does anyone else have this?
Since first few wks of pregnancy i have had a bad pain in what feels like my jaw/middle of my right ear that comes and goes (pain when eating, touching it etc) and also my right butt cheek in a specific part of it, so it hurts when i stand up, move around in bed, bit like trapped nerve- all on my right hand side!

Been 3 different docs and they say my ear looks fine, take paracetemol, and the one yesterday said take ibruprofen til ur 20 wks!!! thought u shouldnt take that!! Took ear spray which did nothing too

Duno if its pregnancy or just my weird body.

Even went to dentist and they gave haw exercises and night bite thing but no change.

Doing my head in!

Not much help at all I'm afraid but didnt want to read and run I have a pain in my butt cheek it comes and goes kind of feels like cramp only had it since being pregnant

I hadn't thought much about it, but I've had pain in one or other butt cheek and even my tailbone. I just figured it's all the hormonal changes and pressure from a growing belly. I've also noticed that when sitting certain ways a leg falls asleep more than pre-pregnancy. HCG helps your pelvis to prepare for pregnancy, even your ribs get more mobile for when you start expanding...it seems natural to me then that it can happen with lots of joint areas. My cheek pain is usualy right near the butt bone at the bottom of my butt.

I get jaw pain from clinching and I do it a lot without realizing it. It's gotten to where it causes ear pain. You've got a lot on your mind right now...you're carrying a little life in you! You might be clinching and tensing alot without even noticing. Try massaging your jaw joints! I wouldn't take ibuprofen...tylenol is safe tho.

I think it may be from sleeping on your side? Can you get a softer pillow maybe?
