So I have determined that clenching my jaw at night has been the culprit of all my face pain over the last several weeks. I woke up yesterday hurting pretty bad. I had been given meds for it, but went and bought myself a night bite guard. Last night was the test run, and I feel great. I woke up and realized that was definitely the problem. The bottom side of it, which is made of a hard not easily modible plastic, had all sorts of crazy divets in it. It was pretty obvious that I had been biting down with some serious force all night.
I am glad I was able to figure out what the problem was, and hopefully this will take care of it without the need for meds :)
