I’ve been having problems with my jaw for around a year now. It started off with my jaw clicking, and I tried to suck a milkshake through a straw and it caused this incredible pain I can’t even describe. Now I think it’s gotten worse. If I’m laying down, I can’t turn my head on one side or lay on my back without it locking closed. Sometimes I don’t know how long it will be until it will loosen up. I can’t talk, eat, yawn, or even sing without worrying if it’s going to cause pain or get stuck.

I don’t grind my teeth that I know of. I quit gum. I’ve seen both a dentist and an ENT for it, and they say there isn’t much they can do.

But I don’t want to live the rest of my life in pain or fearing pain!!

If anyone has any tips or advice I’d appreciate it so so much!
