[quote=boodles;1665104]I need relief from this pain in my jaw and teeth. My muscles are so tight and I catch myself constantly clenching my teeth and with a tight jaw. The rest of my body is always in an unrelaxed state as well (contracted muscle aches) but it's nothing compared to jaw and teeth pain.

i have had a mouth guard for over 5 years and i like it. i apparently grind my teeth really bad and this keeps me from worrying about it. i sleep with it and, like my tinnitus, has become a "friend". 'm on my second one because i had some jaw and front bridge aches from time to time. ambersol works for the teeth and relaxation techniques never hurt. also try a warm compress on your jaw. another thing that helps with anxiety is really getting into something. for me that computer wargames or model building or reading. my frau knows i'm really anxious when i break out the jigsaw puzzles.
