Does anybody else have those tough times, where you're walking around and can't seem to think about anything but the pain in your jaw muscles, like your mandible could swing anywhere and not find a comfortable place, and at the same time the inabliity to open keeps you trying to open up, that by doing seems to make the pain even more irritated, and then even more painful after you attempt to eat, and then, the muscles behind your ears and temples join in and start jumping around and contracting.............

Hey Jeremy,
I laughed when I read that, although I shouldn't, but only because I can relate to it and last night I attempted to eat raw carrots and celery.....ouch BIG MISTAKE....boy did I suffer afterwards. I did however massage the inside of my jaw and my pain got alot better thank goodness. Guess that will teach me for trying to eat hard foods that I know I shouldn't.

yep, ....and it feels like someone is poking an ice pick in your ear...your head leans to one side because your neck muscles are pulling...your scalp hurts, but just in the "beanie area"...and your shoulders are up by your ears...your cheek and eye are twitching....those symptoms? Yep, sounds pretty normal to me.
Have you lost your mind?? Why did you ditch the NTI?

I feel the same way. I ate pizza last night and the pain went up to the top of my head. Usually I think this is sinuses, but now I am thinking it it the tmj. I know, pizza is not allowed, but I was hungry and it was quick.
Feel better.

oh boy do I hear ya!
When someone asks me: How are you? I want to tell them about my jaw pain and my neck pain and shoulder and my eye. Meanwhile I am rolling my head all over the place to get my neck to crack to set off some endorphines. Argh!

Wow, I can sure relate to what you are experiencing. The pain in my jaw muscles is pretty much around the clock right now. I have an appt. with a Chiropractor tomorrow. I'm on the fence about going this route, but my dentist and my regular MD have only suggested to give it time. This girl is so tired of the chronic pain. Sorry, don't mean to be whining.
Thanks for sharing!
