Hi is anyone else really struggling with neck and jaw pain? I've had it for a few months now. The muscles up the sides of my neck are constantly so tight and I'm conscious that my shoulders always feel hunched. My neck makes a crackling noise everytime I turn it too. It's driving me mad and my health anxiety is through the roof worrying it's something serious.

Hi Helen,
It does sound like cervical neck pain/age-related degeneration. The TMD doesn't help and may even be related. Perhaps a pain specialist or neurologist could give you some meds to deal with the pain? But of course you really don't want to be on those long-term. Try being more conscious of your posture and doing neck/back stretching exercises, and consciously calming yourself, so you don't tense up your body, especially at night. Feel free to write me any time ❤️
