So, I think I'm figuring out my strange dental/jaw issue. I went to Student Health today and he didn't see any ear infections or anything, and the dentist before said there's no cavity in the tooth that was hurting*. A couple of days ago, I found info about temporomandibular joint pain, and found that it's often linked to muscle imbalances and posture. I went, "I like this. It's rather holistic and new age." Since then, I've been trying to stand and sit straighter, and the pain has basically gone away. It makes sense, because nothing hurt over winter break, which was when my parents were constantly badgering me to stand up straight.
*Dental issues are somewhat separate. We'll talk about this later, Mr. President.
