Did I pull a jaw muscle?

or am I dying? 😀

Was chewing on some chicken (thick breast piece) and I got this sharp pain in my jaw. It's roughly 1-2" in front of my ear and it aches when I try to open my mouth up. I popped some ibuprofen to help reduce any swelling but I wonder if I need to get it checked or just wait it out.
 
I'd wait it out. I don't think there's much they can do aside from complicated surgery. I had my jaw popped out a long time ago, and it still gives me occasional trouble, but not as bad as it used to.
 
There's got to be a joke about him giving too many blowjobs.... but damned if I can think of one.
 
I've had similar pain before, I figured it was a TMJ problem but never bothered get it checked out. Went away after a week or so. Hurts a lot when you eat in the meantime, though, so take NSAIDs as necessary.
 
Muscles are all contorted
Claws dug in the dirt
Every ounce of fiber on alert

And all the pressure that's been building up
For all the years it bore the load
The cracks appear, the frame starts to distort
Ready to explode - Jawbreaker!

Do you clench your jaw or grind your teeth?

Not really. I was planning on going to the doc tomorrow if it doesn't feel better in the morning. I just figured I should check here to make sure it's not Ebola 😉
