Re: Mets to jaw?

I have had jaw issues. Cracking. Sometimes pain. Had a pressured sort of feeling. All has boiled down to dental/tmj sort of thing. Grinding teeth at night.And general falling apart! As said before, just because we had cancer does not mean that we dont get unrelated ailments that scare us!
Keep the faith. And try not to worry until given a concrete reason to do so
