Hi all,
I've been suffering from a "sore" jaw for the last 3 months or so. In the beginning I had reduced ability to open my mouth wide and it was painful eating. I do have a high pain tolerance though so I've been ignoring it. Last 3 nights though I can feel it more lying down than I can during the day. I've been super busy at work and have been tolerating it silently. Today found time to go to a clinic but turned out they had no expert in that area and they said I needed to see a dentist. I'm going to try to visit my old one tomorrow. Doesn't feel like a tooth ache to me so didn't think of a dentist at first. Anyway, since I took half a day off to go see a doctor, I had time to think about it more it dawned on me that perhaps this might be related to my adventures in S&S..
The bells have been getting heavier and I do most of my practice at 6pm (ie evening time). I've recently introduced (ie since Monday) a heavier bell (ie, there is a potential relationship to the issues last 3 nights also?), so I've been connecting the dots and am now wondering if this is just some stupid position/grimace I am putting my mouth/neck into while breathing while lifting. Does that sound realistic at all? If so I am wondering what I can do to address it. I'll go visit the dentist tomorrow anyway but just putting this out there in case it anyone else has had a similar experience. I am pretty new to lifting and currently 49.
