Over a year ago, I started getting clicks on the left side when talking. Very inconsistent, some days I'd get it sometimes not. Over time I started getting it on the right side, then both sides started clicking when swallowing. I get it frequently but cannot reproduce it consistently. I could swallow five times now and not get it, and then I might do the same thing in an hour and it would click every time. It's definitely not a eustachian issue.

I have bilateral disc displacement, but I never get any clicking when chewing or opening my mouth. Hence, my question if these are related. I have a muscle tension disorder and I've developed popping joints all over my body, so I've been wondering if this really has something to do with the joint itself. I've read that clicking and popping can exist without disc issues, so I'm guessing other things might be responsible for clicking?

This seems to be rare so I'm curious whether there are a lot of people dealing with this.

For the past few months I've had to rest in bed a lot during the day. My body feels incredibly heavy. I can manage going for short walks and doing a tiny bit of exercise but that's about it. But yesterday I didn't feel much fatigue at all. I listened to music, which I hardly ever do anymore, I even felt like dancing. Moving around the house felt pretty easy. Today it's back to crushing fatigue again.

Does this happen to any of you?

Sometimes I get this for hours, other days I don't. It's like something goes wrong in my sleep. Nasal sprays don't help, neither does swallowing/yawning/valsalva. I don't really seem to have fullness / clogged ears. Maybe some mild feeling of pressure.

Any tips?

It's been two weeks now since I had my masseter and temporalis injections. I can barely clench anymore, even when I try it's just like I can put my teeth together but that's about it.

So it seems effective, but my mouth opening hasn't changed. I still have some aches and pains at various places. Maybe slightly less, not sure. Is this normal? When does the mouth opening improve?

Hello everyone, I'm a chronically ill/fatigued person with a number of hip issues, probably due to lots of sitting/lying down. I've become so weak glute bridge holds are extremely difficult. It triggers low back pain and when I try to contract my glutes harder I start shaking violently. I tried bird dogs (legs only) but my shoulders fatigue very quickly and my core starts burning.

Any ideas? Possible regressions? Not sure how to build up if I'm this weak, but I really need to strengthen those glutes.

When I wake up my left ear starts popping. Initially I didn't have it for weeks sometimes but it always came back. It became a daily occurrence and while it initially resolved after getting up, it now lasts for hours. When bending over it's like I hear a sound of wind blowing in sails. Sometimes also when I'm talking or when I push on my ear.

Ears have been checked several times, sometimes a bit of fluid but sometimes not. Ear pressure was normal at time of examination (I didn't have popping at that moment). I feel as if it got worse when tapering my zoloft but could be coincidence.

Sound familiar to anyone? I don't know if there's still any hope.

I've managed to keep my daily steps around 5000 for a year. It started dropping a few months ago and I started getting all kknds of aches of pains presumbly due to inactivity.

So I'm trying to increase my activity with a physical therapist. I'm scared because of all the negativity surrounding GET, but I want to reduce my pain.

Is there any sort of amount of exercise that is acceptable?

Got botox 9 days ago in masseter and temporalis. It's definitely kicking in, can't clench very hard anymore. But I get this terrible tired feeling in my neck like it can't support my head. Is this possible? I have neck issues so it could be something else but this tired feeling is new
