I tried chewing on something and after like 2 chews the pain was magnified 30x. It's happened before, but usually goes away after like 10 minutes. It's been going strong for 2 hours now, and I can't eat a thing. I did the same thing, and my jaw hurts like hell. I tried chewing on something and after like 2 chews the pain was magnified 30x.

I am glad I am not the only one with Mystery Balloon Pain (MBP...ask your doctor if Jawzifil is right for you!) Weird that some people are more prone to this than others, but maybe we should form a support group or something? I am so glad you posted Danielle!

I'm 22 and I have always hurt like heck after blowing up a balloon. Today is my husbands birthday, I tried blowing up one to throw on the table by his card...and I regret blowing that balloon now. It sounded like my ear/head popped and now there is some serious pain behind my jaw just below my earlobe. I officially will never blow balloon again myself, w/o a pump...I agree with the other nurse saying air in the estachian tube, I hope i just didnt' over do it...*sigh* Careful others with balloon blowing ear/jaw pain...they aren't worth it.

I never thought to attribute the pain I experience to be an Ear pain, but now that I think about it more, it could be I suppose. Anyway, I first experienced this pain blowing up a balloon in 3rd grade (I remember this because I talked to our family doctor on the phone and for some reason 3rd Grade just seems right). Still to this day (i'm 24) I get this pain when I blow up balloons. I too am a Dip person. You are not alone! off to find out more information. FYI, now that I am tough enough to explore the pain, I notice than when I push on the area of pain, I hear a squishy sound. I will press this area later today to see if it's still squishy :) MMM experiments, brings me back.

I hate balloons too - my kids bat them around the house, knocking things off tables in the process. I scream, they fight, someone cries. Fucking balloons indeed.
