TMJ

[Samurai]

Can jaw clenching cause TMJ issues. My ear feels clogged atm and my cheek muscle near the jaw joint feels over used. Im also getting twitching in lips accompanied with bits of pins and needle.

Can this be TMJ? I know it sounds stupid, but tumour fear is starting to creep in.

When I have bad anxiety I clench my jaw and get tmj. I can tell if I’ve been clenching when I feel the line across the inside of my cheek. I had ear issues because if tmj as well.

Yeh my cheek feels heavy. Like over worked. Also getting in the lips every now and then.

TMJ disorder sucks, but that's what it sounds like, IMO. I experience these regularly.

The wierd thing is that when the mind isnt anxious everything is fine. But when im anxious then i think the worst and i notice every little thing. But muscle tension from clenching is all i can think that makes sense. That can irritate the nerves aswell. Ive also just had Covid 5 weeks ago. I think thats still giving me some affects as well. Maybe my jaw muscle is fatiguing more and nerves etc.
