it has some weird ridges on one side.
when i dont move it . its feels like i have pulled the tongue muscle...

Hi hun,

There are two pieces of advice i can give you.

Firstly, i know it seems really hard but do try not to focus on your tongue too much, i spent 18 months paranoid over my tongue, i had burning mouth syndrome and was convinced i had something sinister wrong with me, you say your jaw also aches, so could you be doing what i did, and tensing it up in your sleep??

Secondly, if it carries on pop to your dentist, just to give you piece of mind.

The tongue is a very sensitive muscle and stress can cause havoc with it, there were many times when i didn't even feel stressed and my tongue caused me so many problems.

The minute i stopped focusing on it, my problems started leaving me.

Hope this helps.

I know how hard it is hun, mine used to feel like it had been the gym on its own.........lol!

The jaw ache could be a result of the sinus. It can make your face/jaw hurt. As Di said if you try and not to focus on it, it does ease off, it's not easy but it will help :D

I have this too, the ridges are probably your teeth impressions through clenching your jaw , that's what mine are. Your Tongue as Di said us a muscle and can get tense. Try not to worry about it, but if your concerned ask your doctor or dentist for reassurance.

Hi I'm new here! I thought I'd throw in my two cents... Have you had your B12 tested? It might be nothing but I went for some blood tests last week and it turns out I'm low on vitamin B12, I looked it up and one of the symtoms is to do with your tongue. If you haven't already, go and get a blood test. I've been suffering from anxiety/depression for about five years and only got a blood test this year. It made me feel better when they found something 'wrong' with me, which probably sounds crazy to anyone not suffering with anxiety!

take care x
