Whinge

[tortietta]

I think I've done something to my jaw or something but I've been in constant pain on the right side of my jaw for the past couple of days and in the last two hours or so the pain has flared up so incredibly that even swallowing hurts. I've taken Ibuprofen to try and stop the pain and still nothing. Opening my mouth is like forcing a locked case open. :((((((((((((

[pokes] you should see your doctor. or your dentist.

it sounds like you've pulled the muscles that hold your jawbone in place...

Wah! I think I'm going to have to. I got hardly any sleep last night because of the pain and this morning opening my mouth is nearly impossible.

You accidently stabbed your foot, right?

And a sign of tetnus is lock jaw or in your case a sore jaw.... Maybe you should go to the dr? You can die from it.

It happened to a character in Home and Away years ago, very sad.

Yeah, Dad mentioned tetnus last night. And it's not exactly getting any better. Entire jaw was locked up yesterday morning and I've been in constant pain today -- answering the phone has been ... interesting.

I was meant to have today off the Service Desk, but of course this never happens. Apparently I'm getting tomorrow off the Desk so I think I'll make a dr's appointment for the afternoon and get this bloody jaw looked at.

On the plus side it hurts to eat which means I'm not eating much which means weight loss. :))

How are you, dear? I miss you. Got your email the other day -- will reply soon.

Don't tell me you're basing your medical advise on Home and Away? :p Which character?
