Take the time and money and visit a doc if you can

Well, the jaw is a big hinge. Move one side and the other side moves too. You might well have fractured something or strained a muscle. If you're hurting that bad go and see a doctor! It's stupid not too, especially as it's your jaw! If you haven't got time to make sure a crucial component of your body isn't damaged badly then I can only assume you're carrying out life saving operations and the fate of the nation lies in your hand

And as Birgit implies, your insurance should pay for an 'accident' that would mean you had to see a good clinic doctor.

Get better soon. And dodge next time!

I wouldn't worry too much, I mean, who spins with their jaw?

They are guides. They are teachers. They are like Yoda, only smaller and on strings.

Hey Tom, I've been in the exact same situation in a non-exact way Hopefully this might give you some reassurance.



Was doing a waistwrap a few months ago when one of my sock poi (rubber/foam core ball) copped me hard on the right cheek. Well, just below the right cheek, on the jaw bone.



Within a couple of minutes, the left (opposite) side was hurting as if it had become dislodged or hit directly. Was pretty hard to chew or open my mouth wide for at least 3 weeks.



It helped to occasionally rub it where the joint of the left side of the jaw met the skull- i.e. just in front of your left earlobe.



It went away and within a month and a half, it was good as new.



ps. I was kinda mislead by the thread title. I thought it was a thread about traumatic violence (like being beaten up as a kid) having a drawn out effects on a person's psyche/social development. Could help to be a bit more specific in the future- perhaps 'jaw injury advice?' It probably also makes HoP searches provide better results for other people with similar queries.
