I know exactly how you feel, I have had the same problem for years- The best thing I could suggest is go to a sporting goods shop and get a night guard -Wear it when you go to bed at night -it will keep you from clamping down at night time -then your jaws will be more relaxed after wearing the night guard, You might even want to wear it some day time.Also if pain is real bad take 2 pain pills and lay on a hot water bottle - the heat relaxes the muscles- I do not live with out my hot water bottle!!!! You should also go to the dentist they can see whats causing the pain. Sorry your hurting- Hope this helps you .

I am not sure what is causing the tension you are having, but I experience it as a result of the General Anxiety Disorder that I have. I take meds to help with it. Antidepressants and muscle relaxers to be exact. They help tremendously. I know how uncomfortable it is for you. Good Luck to you.
