I am almost sitting here laughing at myself because i am seeing the effects or better understanding how the anxiety and your mind play together. i have had this knot on the inside of my cheek for weeks and no i havent been to the doc, no insurance and financially strapped. i cant even qualify for assistance of any kind because they tell me i make too much... which obviously is a joke. Anyways, what I am noticing is that this knot seems to almost disappear and then comes back but less prominent. when i feel it with my tongue, it feels smooth but if i probe it with my finger, it feels like a little knot. My 19 month old is notorious for headbutting my cheek and my jaw frequently... Im learnign to duck. I am wondering if thats how this started or if its just scarred tissue from biting or sucking in my cheeks, which i suck my cheeks in quite frequentlly when im stressed, which i am under a tremendous amount of. Any thoughts?
