Hi, I have been clenching my teeth so badly the last two nights, that I wake up with horrible pain in my face and jaws. A friend was supposed to fly in two nights ago, who’s going to cat sit for me and build a front porch. He was having a bit too much fun and did not make his flight. I’m...

Hi, Does anyone have any tips for getting my jaws to unclench at night? I probably have been clenching my jaw‘s at night for about 50 years. I use a mouth guard so that I don’t hurt my teeth. But I can’t seem to get my jaws to relax so that I don’t wake up in pain. I’ve tried mindful relaxation...

I went to a new holistic dentist recently, to get some fillings repaired (cracked from my many years of TMJ night grinding). We talked about my TMJ causing the wear & cracks. He noticed my overbite and said he’s pretty confident that my TMJ clenching, grinding & pain is because of my bite. My...

Hello, I'm inquiring for insight into my pain. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have every kind of pain. Muscle, joint (no swelling), tendon pain, burning pain, aching pain, and tender to touch pain. I also experience tingling and stinging pain all over the place along with muscle spasms...

This past week was particularly stressful for a number of reasons. Then on Tuesday evening, I was at home watching TV, when I yawned. I felt a pop in my right jaw. I'm pretty sure that had never happened before. On Wednesday, every time I opened my mouth, every time I spoke, every time I...
