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.,
