I have started with thus problem for about 7 months now. It also hurts to chew. I mention it to my family doctor and he thinks it is stress and clenching the ĵaws,maybe when sleeping. Doing massage therapy now. And putting anti inflammation cream on it and tylenol.

Sometimes TMJ starts this way, certainly bring it up to your Rheumatologist. For otc, you might massage in Arnicare Gel.
I hope this helps.

Hi, I always feel like my jaws are"locked". I thought is stress related.

Thank you very much for your answers and info. I just get so anxious when I get pain from the different areas. They seem to crop up out of nowhere and take turns.😉
