[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 265685, member: 7083"] I've been clenching my teeth for a couple of weeks now. I've even caught myself doing it during the day. Repeatedly. This is a thing of mine and my usual tricks to not clench are not working. The tendonitis in my shoulder has kicked up and it goes up into my neck, which may be contributing to the clenching. I don't know. Today I woke up and I am in so much pain. It hurts in my bottom teeth on the right side (where I always get the pain; dentist has checked extensively and it's not my teeth), into my ear, and now into my eye and upper teeth. Vicodin isn't touching it. Not even making a dent. And I can barely stand it. I can take a lot of pain unless it's in my head. Any advice on what I can do for the pain? I can't even stand for my teeth to touch together, yet if I bite down really hard it seems to alleviate the pain a tiny bit. I'm desperate. I'm ready to just take my head off. And I'm supposed to go prom dress shopping this evening with easy child's girlfriend. Any tips? :please: [/QUOTE]
