[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1085555"] While it is certainly possible, I don't think the recoil [B]caused[/B] the condition. It could have aggravated it though. [B]TMJ[/B] from that steak is certainly suspect but I am also inclined to think cracked tooth from nawin' on that tough old steak could be in there as well. Either way, the slow onset leads me down the sore muscles or mandible route rather than the cracked tooth route. A couple things you can think about or do to check. Does hot or cold cause more tooth discomfort now than before the steak? If so, cracked tooth is possible. Hold a piece of ice between your teeth but don't chew it. If it hurts or is more uncomfortable on a certain tooth, time to see the tooth grinding person. Take "advil", if the muscles stop hurting or hurt less, more likely TMJ as "advil" relieves muscle soreness. Other possible causes are teeth clenching (or grinding, my own issue), look to the stresses of life there. The "advil" can relieve the discomfort there too. If you did pop your jaw out of alignment on that ol' steak, getting it back into place before it finds it's new location easier is a good idea. I ain't a doctor but I play one on TV. LOL. Seriously, been there before. Don't have the TMJ anymore but I still clench/grind my teeth. [/QUOTE]
