Hi everyone.
Just wondering if some of you that have had to deal with TMJ pain before could offer some advice. I've not ever had it as an inflammed joint before, but as of Saturday it's seemed to creep (rather unwelcomingly) on to my top 10 list of most annoying things to deal with. I can hardly open my mouth (rude comments to a minimum please) - yes it hurts to eat, yes it hurts to talk (not to mention that my voice doesnt sound quite right), and dont even THINK about yawning! Not to mention the lovely headache that began to accompany it! Does this sound about right?
I'm trying to rule out other reasons for the jaw pain - so easy to blame it on the AS when it
could be something that I can actually fix. Does anyone recommend going to a dentist to see if I've suddenly started grinding my teeth at night, or if my wisdom teeth have suddenly popped up? Do those things feel the same?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Hugs,
