idk i have tmj pains it can go to whole fcking head, masseters muscles sux i had strong masseters in past, hopefully they athropy now, some time ago i had bruxism too(but hopefully dont touching the teeth so they okay), in my body muscle tension episodes the lower jaw wanting to go front, i have part of jaw bone a ton in ear canal
i had orthodentist appointment, they confirmed that masseters are spasmed, tmj sux, and put with (?) jaw skeletal class 3, teeth placement is correct, since i take shitraline sertraline, we suspecting like bruxism is side effect right?,
orthodentist recommended try muscle relaxants, but they sux lol, i have overall muscle problems so yeah, said to my dumb psychiatrist, then he prescribed tolperisone which are east european underresearched yeah, okay i tried it, but got sick from first pill, so doesnt taken more, i tried tizanidine by myself, it was really cool, but tolerance developer very very fast in few days
also idk they recommended weird gnathologist which we didnt even have in our city, and it like dumb soviet physiotherapy procedures which cost money
maybe try botulinium toxin into masseters(and whole face yeah because i have problems w it), but price is sux, availbility sux
NSAIDs actually help with tmj pains, like ketoprofen pill, but i dont wanna ruin my stomach from it, but local gels/creams smell as hell (they all have weird aromotizers in it), last days didnt take it and just feel okay
Is this common in your family?
What is your diet like? Any missing essential nutrients?
Do you have triggers that cause a flareup?
nah not common, idk no specific diet but i avoid meals, triggers ughghh whole body muscle hypertensions (antipsychotic past sadly)
Meats trigger whole body muscle cramps?
nah, its random, but sensory stress can be(autistic) i think its due cptsd body armoring
