Open mouth 1/4 inch causes Sharp pain in Jaw, ear,and on side of nose. makes bone cracking sound in my ear.

[Carlito]

Two weeks ago I went to my dentist and received 2 Root Canals, 1 Tooth Extraction(rear Molar), and a Filling. this Dr. was extremely heavy-handed, she was actually leaning with her palm on my lower jaw while doing my root-canal until I SAID SOMETHING.now two weeks later I cannot open my mouth barely wide enough to bite a slice of bread without having severe pain in my jaw, my ear, and the side of my nose. And once I get past the quarter-inch it sounds like my jawbone is cracking in my ear. I feel like there is a problem, the pain is so bad I have to force myself to eat' and I'm losing weight because of it. Is it possible that my jaw is fractured.

Thank you for your response but when you say serious what do you mean what is it that i can possibly be suffering.

Make sure you don't have jaw fracture, post-op infection, or joint damage.
