Hello!
Sorry for the non horsey post, hope TFC keeps it up
The past few weeks I have been waking up to not being able to open my mouth!
Throughout the day it gets easier, but clicks when I chew and yawn etc.
I have been getting used to it, some days I don't notice it much. However the past few days my jaw is CONSTANTLY aching and becoming quite unbearable, and this morning I couldn't open my mouth and started to panic!
Well I went to the doctors and she suggested booking an appointment with my dentist to get a special mouth guard to sleep in (OH says I clench and grind my teeth in my sleep). And to maybe see a chiropractor or a physio if this doesn't help.
Can't get a dentist appointment until next week, so wondering if anyone else suffers from the same and what do you do to dull the aching!! Ibuprofen/paracetamol aren't having much of an effect Does anyone else suffer from this and do you find mouth guards to help at all?
She has suggested finding the route of my stress should be no.1, well that's easy...been trying to find a job since I graduated in June!!! That and I have no heating in my house
Mince pies and double cream for you all
