Does anyone get a clicky jaw (TMJ disorder?) or jaw tension?
I have had a clicking jaw for ages but feel it is getting worse and I don't know if it is a result of something like TMJ disorder or because I am so anxious and maybe holding a lot of my tension in the jaw?
When I wake my jaws are always firmly clammed together and I have kind of sucked my inner cheeks into my teeth (I get a line of teeth marks on the inner checks which is almost permanently there!) and my tongue is always up on the roof of my mouth! My husband says when I am asleep sometimes he can hear me chomping my teeth together!!
My jaws click and grind when I move them and never feel 'fluid' when I move them about.
Several years ago I had a mouth guard made up from the dentist, to wear at night but I felt it made things worse as I was chomping down on this too!
Anyone else get this?
