TMJ Dysfunction: You might be experiencing muscle tightness due to the muscles in your jaw, called TMJ dysfunction. Try ice and/or heat to the side of your face for 20 min on then 20 min off. Avoid chewing gum, caffeine drinks and biting your nails for at least four days. If pain continues, consider seeing a dentist/doctor for exam and possible medication or bite appliance.
