Temporomandibular joint discomfort is common in ladies of your age. It may be related to stress, but the inflammation and pain is real and you may obtain temporary relief by self medicating with anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprophen. I know that dental visits can be an imposition and costly, but you should be seeing your dentist at least twice a year, so why not mention it next time.
