Mary Anne,
I think this may be an episode of TMJ. Not certain yet, of course, but hopeful that is the case. I am feeling improved with my treatment of softer foods. I work in a stressful industry, so perhaps I am clenching. My lower jaw back behind my last molar aches. Not as much as it did, but it is still there. I will visit my dentist again if necessary, but since it is improving I thought I'd try the Clondronate again tomorrow morning and see if it exacerbates the problem or not. If it doesn't cause any worsening of symptoms, I'll just stay on the protocal. If it causes more discomfort to arise, I'll be whining on another post! I will let you all know how it goes.
Thank you for inquiring for me of your peridontist friend.
