hey guys i am having a very high discomfort in my right jaw i have no pian what so ever is this TMJ? (i want to emphasize i have no pain what so ever just a high level of discomfort like something is loged in my inner cheek )
I've been having a pretty high level of discomfort in my right jaw, but I want to emphasize that I have no pain at all no poping or clicking sound i can hear . It's more of an annoying sensation, almost like something is lodged in my inner cheek or around the jaw area. it has been alsmost 1 week since i am feeling this and it is getting worse by the minute
I've tried several relief methods that I found on YouTube, and they sometimes help for a short while, but the discomfort always comes back.
From what I've read, TMJ issues can be related to stress and anxiety, but I don't think those apply to me. However, I do have some other possible contributing factors:
- I often sleep in awkward positions.
- I frequently deal with randon neck pain.
- I work a desk job and spend many hours sitting in front of a computer.
I'm wondering if this could still be TMJ even without any pain. Has anyone experienced something similar persistent jaw discomfort or a strange sensation in the jaw/inner cheek area without actual pain? If so, what turned out to be the cause, and did anything help?
Thanks in advance.
