TMJ

I think I may have TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder)

Symptoms associated with TMJ disorders may be:

* Biting or chewing difficulty or discomfort
* Clicking, popping, or grating sound when opening or closing the mouth
* Dull, aching pain in the face

* Earache
* Headache (I do get them but I think they may be related to other things)
* Jaw pain or tenderness of the jaw
* Reduced ability to open or close the mouth

I first noticed it when I was eating a muffin before school a few years ago and my jaw kept popping. I asked the orthodontist about it but they said it was normal. Yeah..I don't think this is normal..

Would you rather stand still at the end of a tennis court while the world's best tennis player rips 100 balls in a row at you or stand still on home plate and let a major league pitcher throw 20 baseballs at you? The tennis one sounds less painful haha

Today's trivia: Technically, knife throwing falls under the heading of "impalement arts"
