    In my experience this is a trapped or agrevated which is causing a trigger point to flare up, if you see a good chiroprcator they would be able to help you very easily

    morning chris11339 fibro loves to throw at us weird wonderful symptoms. one of the symptoms is called Allodynia its where the slightest touch on any part of our body can be very painful. I have had it on my face arms and my back even wearing clothes can sometimes be painful when touching our skin. also bedding eg the quilt. its a fibro symptom though its unplesent nothing to worry about. take care

    Hi Chris;yes it very well could be Fibro......I, too, have had a Lot of probs this past 12 months with my facial/cheek muscles and Jaw joints......and have been told that it is not only my Osteo, but also Fibro........yes, it is very painful and debilitating, as I now have to wear a brace to support these areas, and have difficulty talking and chewing......also when laying down, I find one side is less painful than the other (but as we all know, too, that this is not a possibility to Just stay on one side, as after every 2 hours, have to swap over, as hip area and shoulder area/s become too sore to stay on the one side)......Before getting the brace, my physio was able to massage/manipulate this area, which helped on the short-term.....the brace supports the area, but also makes it difficult to eat/talk  (the specialist said..."that's why I want you to wear it ALL the time...to stop you talking"....he doesn't know me That much...as everyone says I like to talk).............the only medication that helps this is, for me anyway, Endone.......good luck.......Bron
