Does anyone else experience major pain in the jaw during a hit. Actually when the pain is in my jaw it is much more tolerable.

Chewy will probably be along in a while to post a picture he has of the nerve that's affected by CH. It runs behind the eye and along the jaw. A lot of people have mistakenly had teeth pulled thinking that was their problem so it is fairly common. I've chipped molars grinding my teeth so hard trying to stop the pain! Good luck to you.

Oh yea, the ole pain in the jaw trick! Don't get the teeth taken out, no matter what they say! It's the TN nerve acting up! Get the ice pack and find a comfy spot to beat the beast!

Yep - massive jaw pain accompanied by a tart taste in my mouth coming from the affected side as if I were staring at a lemon or just bit into one.
I also have TMJ on both sides of my jaw, and was told when diagnosed that it can cause bad headaches on its own, but since I already had CH that it could be a trigger for clusters.
Peace,
Carl D

If you click on the OUCH website, it shows a graphic illustration of the trigiminal nerve, done by Gary Carlson. When I saw it, it explained some of the mystery why this feels like a toothache, ear ache, etc.
"This nerve has three branches, one which goes to the forehead and eye, one which goes to the cheek and one which goes to the lower face and jaw. During a cluster headache, the trigeminal nerve is activated, causing pain along one or more of it's three branches, usually along the one leading to the eye and forehead. This accounts for the centering of the pain of CH around the eye."
