JAW HINGE PAIN, clicking, roughness on cycle

[b18b_turbo]

I am on a halovar/epol cycle with organ shield.

The first 4 weeks are done and I am experiencing alot of jaw pain, more at the hinge joint that connects my jaw to my skull. I cannot open my mouth without excruciating pain and eating has become a real task. Also at times I would hear loud clicking coming from the joint itself and very painful, it almost feels as though my jaw will just slip out. It is also leading to a lot of pain in my ear. Both sides are experiencing the problem, but my right side is almost non-existant while the left is unbearable.

The only other side effects I have experienced are back pumps, tardiness, moodiness, loss of mental focus and low energy at times. I did a blood test during the 4th week and liver values, blood count and cholesterol all came back normal.

I am very afraid for my jaw. This discomfort is unbearable.

1) Is this a temporary side effect?
2) Could it possibly remain after the cycle is done and even get worse?
3) What can I do/use in order to curb this side effect? I do not want to use pain killers, I want to get rid of the problem as much as I can, not numb pain.

I know this happens with alot of orals, if any of you have had similar experiences and can share with me what happened to you or solutions, it will be most appreciated. I can't even kiss my fiance properly! lol


Thank you.

Hey Turbo, from what your telling me it sounds like your suffering from TMJ / TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders). It's basically due to stress and clenching/ grinding your teeth all night long. I had the same issue several months back the doctor prescribed anti-inflammatory and pain medication, but dont worry eventually you will be able to eat more comfortably again. I recovered in about a week; I have a custom fit mouth guard from the dentist dont waste your time with those over-the-counter mouth guards....hope this helps!

thanks for the positive responses guys. Well i believe it is TMJ from researching, but its so coincidental. I also spoke to a guy who treats bodybuilders and he said that gear actually flares up underlying problems that you may have in your body and make it more prominant. When i was younger, i had unstable jaw and it dislocated a few times already....after he told me this i became concerned and made the post here because before, i was convinced that it was TMJ.

I put on 12 pounds in the last 4 weeks and strength gains are very satisfactory!

So nobody here knows anything about loss of joint flexibility, stiffness and jaw pain when using orals?
