Hiya,
Someone close to me passed away last Tuesday and ever since that day I have had this kind of sore crawling/burning feeling in the right of my jaw (about the middle). I have been very upset over the last week (much more than usual). Sometimes it moves to just below my chin and to the left but only when I am in the middle of an anxious moment, then returns to the right when I calm down a bit. Seems to get worse the more stressed I get.I have some tightness in my jaw as well but no clicking or anything and I cannot locate the pain at all when I feel for it which is what is actually worrying me I think.
It must be said that I think I may have started clenching my jaw in my sleep and also sometimes in the day but not sure (never done this before so don't concentrate on it). My teeth at the back are also quite sensitive top and bottom a little but nothing that I am concerned about. Have no trouble eating or swallowing btw.
I am going to the docs tomorrow for sure but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and would this potentially be down to anxiety? Never had this symptom before so all new to me, but then again this is a particularly upsetting time for me.
Thanks in advance :yesyes:
