On Monday I saw my GP as both sides of my jaw have been extremely painful. It’s worse first thing in the morning, I struggle to open my mouth wide and it hurts when I chew food. She said it’s more than like to be Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) which should sort itself out but has referred me for an X-Ray and advised me to see my dentist incase it’s being caused by my teeth. She mentioned painkillers and then saw my repeat prescription with an apologetic comment that there’s nothing else she can give me. She looked shocked when I said I’ve had it for about 6 weeks. I just hoped it’d go away by itself. I hope to god it is TMD, I don’t want another string on my disability/illness bow!! #tmd #temporomandibulardisorder #temporomandibularjointdisorder #notanotherillness #plantarfasciitis #tendonitis #bulgingdisc #backpain #backpainsucks #lowerbackpain #chronicpain #chronicbackpain #chronicpainlife #chronicpainmeds #degenerativediscdisease #lumbarspondylosis #sciatica #sciaticapain #sciaticasucks #spoonie #spoonieblogger #spinepainwarrior http://www.spinepainwarrior.co.uk https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPsRpjH5Vs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vq2dzfs9fpxh
