Please talk to me about jaw pain and muscle tension. I have awful tension in my jaw tonight. I don't often struggle with health anxiety any more, but today has Not been good. I've had a twitching tongue and weakness in my fingers over the last few weeks, and then today my jaw began feeling very tired when I talked. So I'm terrified of having a degenerative muscle or neuroligical disease, despite the fact that I know I've been tensing my face muscles all day, and my husband says my back and neck muscles are extremely tight, and I can eat and talk normally. But my jaw just aches so badly that I'm afraid to talk and make it hurt more! 😭
As for my tongue twitching, it has come and gone in the past, and always around times of intense stress which I've had a LOT of these last few weeks, and a doctor and numerous patients have told me it's very common. And my finger symptoms are very likely from a pinched nerve from all this tension. Please tell me you've had muscle pain and fatigue from intense stress and anxiety too?
