Already did. Neoma Jan 2012 #5

Well ibuprofen is a NSAID, but that sounds like something beyond that treatment. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #6

Yeah, a second opinion couldn't hurt. UnrepentantLiberal Jan 2012 #7

Hell, it sounds like tetanus - yes, a second opinion would be good. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #8

WD-40 is for when things don't move but should.

Definitely see a doctor.

You may want to visit your dentist. I grind my teeth when I get stressed. My jaw would get tight and I would get terrible headaches. Advil didn't nothing for the discomfort. This did wonders for me...

Good luck!
