I'm having a tough time with my jaw lately. When I open my mouth, it shifts to the right, and when I close it, it goes to the left. There's also this clicking sound on the right side whenever I open my mouth. It seems like the left side is way more flexible than the right. Plus, I'm finding it hard to open my mouth fully and I've been experiencing trouble breathing when I sleep on my back. My face feels so tight and tired all the time. On top of that, my neck and back are hurting quite a bit. I'm really not sure what to do at this point. Are there any exercises or treatments that might help with this?

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. You can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg to reduce inflammation and pain in the jaw joint. For the clicking sound and difficulty in jaw movement, you can try doing jaw exercises such as gentle jaw stretches, chin tucks, and jaw opening and closing exercises. These exercises can help improve the mobility and strength of your jaw muscles. It is also important to practice good posture, avoid chewing gum, and eat soft foods to reduce strain on your jaw. Applying a warm compress to the jaw area can also help alleviate muscle tension. If your symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend seeking further evaluation and treatment from a dentist or a TMJ specialist.

View allI've been having these annoying muscle spasms for the last couple of days in that V-cut area of my lower abdomen, you know, where it leads down to the pelvis. It's a bit strange because they always seem to happen in the same spot unless I'm lying on my right side, then they shift to the middle of my lower abdomen. I talked to a neurologist friend of the family, and they mentioned it might be due to a stretched muscle, but I don't really feel any pain there. Just wondering if that sounds right to you or if it could be something else?
