clicking sore jaw Posted: 06-01-07 14:14pm
Hi.... I am new to all of this... have
had a clicking jaw for years, but over the
last several months... both right and left
have become very sore... seems one feels
better... the other acts up... now have
ear pain on one side, and
jaw/neck/shoulder... and pain on
swallowing... just on one
side, more when my throat is dry...
any feedback... have seen my dentist...
have a splint... am booked with a physio
therapist next week... for an
assessment...

Hi again Molly,
Just wanted to formally welcome you to
ehealthforum. I'm glad that you are going
to be evaluated by the physiotherapist.
Baby your jaw in the meantime using lots
of moistheat and/or ice. Check your PM's
and please let us know what the therapist
has to say.
God bless...
Carol

stay on soft foods. giving your jaw rest
is good but you dont want to give it too
much. use your muscles so that you
maintain your jaw opening. you dont want
your muscles to atrophy. you need
anything im here. pm me or email me at
anytime.
