hi! i am behind on the LJnets so this is way late.
BUT! i had issues* with my jaw a couple years ago, called my doctor who told me to call my dentist. i was skeptical, but apparently dentists are not just teeth, but the whole general workings of your mouth and jaw, etc. so it kinda made sense when i thought about it.
* - i woke up one morning and couldn't close my jaw properly, and it hurt a whole hell of a lot on one side, and sent shooting pains down to my shoulder when i did try to close it. turns out i was clenching and grinding my teeth which really fucks with your jaw, uh... joint. the dentist made me this horrifically attractive mouthguard thing that i wore at night, and i had to make myself relax my jaw during the day, and it finally went away.
