Goodmorning Ladies. I have been peri for many years now and have had to get used to alot of symptoms but this new one is really getting to me. My jaw is hurting and I wake up in the morning feeling like I have locked jaw. It hurts to open my mouth. I have been to the dentist and its not a tooth so Im asking here if anyone else has experienced this and its just another symptom to endure or should I be worried its something else?
Yes, that’s definitely happened to me. It was peri-related and lasted a couple of months. I had x rays taken at the dentist and all was found to be normal.
You’re not alone with this one 
Same thing started for me about a year ago. I’m 56 and in menopause. Went to dentist too. Did get a mouthguard for at night and it helped a lot. Dr thinks I’m grinding my teeth at night now! Something new all the time with menopause!
