I'm not stranger to nagging, persistent pain. I've had back pain on and off for a while now--not so bad that I can't stand it, but definitely irritating. That's still around, but now it's become full-on from the top of my head down to my toes pain.
Apparently, I clench my jaw. All the time. I could probably crack walnuts between my molars at this point. I'm getting fitted for a night guard later this month, so I'm really hoping that will help because this is becoming intolerable. My neck is sore, my face feels like it's all twisted up, I can't see straight, my ears are constantly plugged up. I've been to the chiropractor, physical therapy, a neurologist...and they all say the same thing: RELAX. You just need to relax.
It's funny how something so simply said can be so overwhelmingly difficult.
