My jaw hurts.
My jaw has been hurting for...22 days now. I went to the dentist last week, but since it's a TMJ problem, there's nothing that can be done. Just...wait.
I sprained my jaw some years ago--other side, not this side--and it took 7 months to heal. This isn't sprained, and it had started feeling better late last week, but now it seems to be regressing. I took four Advil (dosage is doctor's order) before work this morning, and...nothing. I might as well have taken sugar pills.
Can't open my mouth too wide. Can't bite down too hard. Can'tcan'tcan't. It's annoying. I must've tweaked it somehow yesterday (possibly during the EPICALLY HARD pilates session--I HATE the exercise ball with the fire of a thousand suns, not least b/c I fell off of it TWICE) for it to be this much worse.
