Huh. My jaw hurts.
My TMJ (something-something-joint) is a little messed up. At its mildest, I barely feel anything at all. Once in a while, my jaw will 'click' when I open my mouth wide (like when I yawn). Sometimes, it's aggravated by stress, which means I'm probably grinding or clenching my teeth in my sleep. When I graduated college, there were a few days when my jaw locked and I was able to open my mouth for only about half an inch.
So it has started hurting this week, after a nice long lull in not hurting. I can still open my mouth fine, but the area's a little sore when I chew. Eh. Stress? Me?
Sigh.
