Pain compounds anxiety/stress. Anxiety/stress compounds pain. A vicious cycle.
#hi ya still in so much pain#two sets of xrays of my neck and jaw both are fine#still having sinus pressure that i thought was getting better but the cold weather and snow brought it back#i went to see a chiropractor who said i had several things out of alignment in my back most notably my c1 in my neck#my c1 shifted over slightly causing my right tmj to be jammed upwards and left side to drop down a bit#also my c1 might have been pressing on my eustachian tube not allowing my sinuses to drain properly but i have a ct scan of that the 18th#i have a bad case of tmd cant really speak for too long or really smile and i have to eat soft foods#most likely muscular and postural related so im going back to PT with a tmj specialist on the 21st which i wish was sooner#my whole body hurts especially my neck and shoulders jaw is stiff and sore my cheekbones and eyes hurt from sinus pressure#my back hurts and my legs are tight from not being able to exercise#i cry about this every fucking day but i cant even really cry bc when i did let myself it locked my whole face and jaw up again#its so isolating not really being able to speak so i cant go to therapy and will have to push back my appt again for tomorrow#i feel like im out of alignment again but im seeing the chiro tomorrow and stress and posture can throw you out of alignment#i really am miserable and i dont want to exist right now i feel like every day im just killing time to go to bed#and then when i wake up i dread to get up and find out how much pain ill be in for the day#its been a whole month like this and i cant see my my dentist until feb and im scared to do that bc i cant open my mouth v wide#and im afraid theyll try and make me a custom splint or something and i dont have dental insurance#and some splints dont work or make the problem worse bc im clencing and tensing my face at night most likely not grinding my teeth#and i was put on amitriptyline for the stress and anxiety but its only been a week and a half and wont feel effects until maybe 2 or 4 weeks#idk what to do anymore#personal#chronic pain#tmj disorder
