Ear pain, three months post op

[Guest guest]

Howdy folks, long time no chat. Back to school, you know

(teaching)...

I have been having pretty bad earaches, particularly at night in

both ears. It really started in my left, but is now in both. i feel

as though it may be connected with a muscle ache or pull i feel on

my left life of my jaw. Believe it or not, i am still wearing bands

at 3 months post op. they are still trying to pull my bite totether

on one side, it's almost there. but because of this, i feel like i

am still stifling yawns, rather than yawning naturally and this has

really been creating some muscle ache. i am up later now working on

school work, my little one is keeping me active, i am tired, i am

yawning and it seems to be the root of an issue here.

My OD scared me into GETTING THOSE ELASTICS BACK ON ASAP after

eating, so i also feel as though i have not been stretching and

working on opening up as i should. i can get a sandwich in, a

banana, but any of that " cross biting " that you do to move food

around to chew is still uncomfortable. It's as if there is cramping

or pain in my jaw muscles. I did have two moments of minor, minor

lock jaw while talking/teaching. Freaked me out, has never happened

before in my life.

If anyone has any advice, i'd be grateful. it's the ears that are

bothering me the most. Thanks guys,
