Lock Jaw

icecube · Jul 24, 2005

Has anyone ever experienced Lock Jaw. I have been experincing a jaw problem for about a week, popping and hard to chew. This morning it has gotten worse and I can't close my jaw all the way.

I have been injecting 2 cc of deca 300 and 1 cc of equipose 200 twice a week.

Could the jaw be related to the deca, equipiose, or the injection prep.

could be a missaligned bite. You may want to have your dentist check it out if it persists.

LOCKJAW -Tetanus, commonly called lockjaw, is a bacterial disease.

You most likely mean TMJ, which ids reffered to as lockjaw. This link expains
TMJ
**broken link removed**

I usually get it when i under pressure alot, lifting alot and jUst straing my body in general. Even sleeping the wrong way. About once a year for a week I get it. I usually go to chiropractor 3 times that week and is gone after he adjust my jaw.

lock jaw

Mine pops all the time. The dentist said it was TMJ. Mostly people clench and grind at night. That makes the tendon stretch. I didn't get a mouthguard. Instead I quit chewing as much gum and I stay away from idiots that make me clench my jaw. Seems to be working.

Thanks for the advice guys. It could be TMJ, I had a problem with it several years ago. Maybe the juice kicks me up a bit and I clinch at night. It seems to follow close behind an injection then starts to go away, then next injection back again. As a per-causion I started to take anti biotics and am thinking about getting a tetanus shot.

Pudge, By the way, no GH.

I travel all the time on business and right now I am in Chino Ca. until the end of summer. Traveling, sleeping in different places and not getting to the gym can cause some stress.

C_horse, That is good avice to stay away from A holes but there is an HR manager in the plant that I am at that loves to hate me. She has done everything possible to get me fired but I am well connect in the company and hold a pretty high position so it is more of a pain in the ass then anything.
