Well I haven't posted for a while as I've been really struggling over the past week or so. Maybe my attempt to try to do normal things wasn't a good idea! Pain and dizziness has been vastly increased and sleeping continues to be a problem which just seems to get worse.
I've been doing a lot of research into sleeping positions which might help but they all have issues! Laying on your back is often said to be the best position for sleeping but I find that my lower jaw tends to drop causing my mouth to open slightly and this causes pain and sleeping or breathing with your mouth open isn't good for the jaw!
I'm going to see a sports therapist soon to see if I can get some of the tension in my sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles released. I also go back to see the surgeon next week for a review after the botox. I'm really hoping that he has something else to try and doesn't say it's time to get on the waiting list for joint replacement! We'll just have to see.
Take care 😵
