Are they swollen lymph nodes or bone under ear and behind jaw bone?
More info - Hi, I can't get an answer anywhere... so, you know how there are lymph nodes under the ear and behind the jaw; like where there are muscles? Okay, so I've had swollen lymph nodes there before and I got them about a month ago again. At the time they were painful and swollen. Now, I think they just stayed swollen. But they are hard as bone. So is there bone there that I could be feeling? Or are they actual hard, swollen lymph nodes? The right one is a little lower than the left side. They're below the mastoid process. I believe it's in the cervical lymph node region. Any thoughts?

Why can you move your lower jaw and not upper jaw?
Because your upper jaw is part of your skull which is connected to your spine and your lower jaw is connected to your upper jaw by a hinge type joint that allows you to move your lower jaw so that we can eat. So therefore we cannot move our upper jaw because that would require moving our head which would move our lower jaw too.
