I was eating a meatball which was very soft, when on my left side, it seemed like I was biting down on something hard like bone. I heard a loud pop or crack noise. It was just discomfort at first, then turned into bad jaw pain. I asked my son if he heard the popping noise. He was sitting right next to me and did not. I guess it was he muscle and tendons at the hinge area of my jaw. That was at about 5:30 p.m. I took a Flexeril to head off further muscle stiffness. It is now nearly 11 pm.and I still have some pain. I can't fully bite down on the left side and my ear hurts. I've taken Tramadol now.
I've been pretty lucky up to this point with my jaws. Like most Fibro things I have that just pop up out of the blue, I'll ride this out. I generally give things that hit me like this about 4 days to resolve.
I did do a lot today in preparation for Christmas but I don't understand why my jaw would be involved. It did happen after I had been crying because my husband hurt my feelings yet again.
