Are my jaw problems related to other joint problems, or is it just a coincidence?

Monday, August 23rd, 2010
Q.
Hi, I have a stiff jaw, which sometimes prevents me from opening wide enough to eat a sandwich, until it clicks – loud enough for others around me to hear it. I also have fibromyalgia and had to have surgery recently to release a frozen shoulder that I’d been under the physio for a year with. Do you think the jaw problem is related to the other joint problems, or is this a coincidence ? Thank you for your advice.,
A.
Its likely to be a coincidence… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I had a root canal done about six weeks ago and I’m still experiencing sensitivity. Will the tooth settle or should I seek more treatment?

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010
Q.
I had my very first root canal treatment about 6 weeks ago. I am still experiencing sensitivity. When I wake up in the morning there is no pain. The pain only occurs after grinding my teeth (chewing etc.) I spoke to my dentist who was very defensive and quite rude and told me to compare it with an appendix removal!
