Huh, I've gotten these attacks periodically over the years, generally associated with drinking beer. I've always chalked it up to a salivary gland reaction/malfunction, but the description is exactly what I experience, like someone is driving a spike through my jaw behind the hinge.

It's pretty occasional, so it's not like I stopped drinking beer or anything insane like that. But good to know.

This isn't associated with anything, unfortunately. I wish it was. It's mostly under control with medication, but flare-ups can happen any time, anywhere.
