Yes, apparently I have a 'tight head.' I went off to the physical therapist (thanks Kellie and Danielle for the child-wrestling!) to see what could be done about my jaw pain. The surgeon who did my jaw said it was likely TJM. And he suggested this guy.
So I got vibrated, stretched, lasered, mini-massaged, etc. I got several hand-outs of exercises (including sticking out your tongue 10 times, three times a day). Apparently all the thousands of muscles in my whole head are tight and need to relax. And my brain is probably overactive, which makes your head tight. Duh.
Jaw did not really hurt when I went (due to implimentation of several techniques I read about online). But I want to know what to do to KEEP it from getting worse. He was only medium marginly helpful. I will try one more appointment. I can heating-pad my face at home!
It is snowing again today.
We had an excellent SLC adventure yesterday with a stock-up-on-butter-trip-to-the-store; fabulous book gathering time at the library and a glorious craft-finding time at Joann's with the Korth ladies. Thanks for the marvelous day girls!
So we are very happy to sit in our nice warm home with lots of cocoa, crafts and books. Happy April!
