tuesday morning i woke up perfectly fine,
but around mid-morning, i started to feel
an odd pain in my left jaw joint - no
blows to the face, odd yawns, nothing. it
got worse throughout the day until it was
painful to chew, yawn, and sometimes talk.
if i bite down, the left side of my teeth
don't touch, but i can force them to do so
by smiling and enduring some good pain.
opening my mouth widely hurts as well.
when i sleep on my right side i feel like
my jaw is falling. it's thursday night
and nothing has changed. i suspect it
could be dislocated, but i would expect
more sever pain than this. has this
happened to anyone before? does it go
away with time, or do i need to see a
doctor? i used to grind my teeth as a
child, so i wouldn't be surprised if
that's the cause, but first i want to fix
the problem. thanks.
