Life is sometimes painful with the loss of loved ones when you least expect it. Pain is knowing you can’t always change into the person you want to be, but you can improve upon the person you currently are at the moment. Pain is felt psychologically and sometimes literally since have TMJ pain when stressed and have stiff, achy neck when sitting at computer almost all day. Today my pain is 4/10 overall with flaring to 7/10 when TMJ pain strikes.
