So however long ago it was that my jaw got stuck open that one night
where I couldn't close it, and had to pop it back in place, apparently
my jaw has been dislocated all this time since!
Which must be why
the grinding/popping stuff got so much worse, and was hurting more, I
could hardly chew or open my mouth fully. It started bothering me real
bad the past week or so. I tried flexing and massaging and pushing at
the area for some relief. I popped it the other night and had a sharp
pain at the hinge area the past few days. Been taking Gaba, and the
nerve pain in the jaw hinge finally let up and I noticed today I could
chew mostly normal. I was just able to eat a hamburger for dinner mostly
normally for the first time in goodness knows how long!! There is
still popping sensations like I had prior to the dislocation, but not
nearly as frequent or as painful. Trying to be extra careful with it.
Fingers crossed it behaves itself.
