Another interesting medical condition

I have the strangest things happen to me.

A couple of days ago my jaw started to hurt. Not terribly but just kind of annoying. So i gave it a day or two to see if it would get better on it's own. Nope. No such luck. It got a bit worse the second day and today(third day) it hasn't gotten worse but not better either. So today i called the nurse to see if i should go to a dentist or doctor. Dentist was the verdict and so i called mine up to see if i could get in today. Just my luck there was an opening just then.

When i got there the dentist asked some questions and did some interesting little tests to see where the pain was. Tests included tapping on my teeth with the dental instruments, feeling my gums and moving my jaw around. After that he told me that he was pretty sure it was a sprain. He said there's no way of knowing really until it goes away. ( Like if the treatment works then that's what it was.) So i get to take 3 Advil 3 times a day for 2 weeks. Hopefully it will get all better from that.

Apparently jaw sprains aren't very common but they do happen. he said that it usually happens while you sleep. my sprain isn't very bad. it should heal fine. Some people it takes 3 months to heal. So I'm glad I'm not that type of sprain!!! So i should be back to normal in a couple of weeks. And i have something else weird to add to the list of interesting medical problems I've had.
