Jen,

For headaches caused by grinding and clenching my daughter has Botox

injections in her jaw and gets considerable relief. I think your insurance will

cover it if your doctor says it is not for cosmetic purposes.

I grind my teeth terribly - to the point of braking my molars before I was

fitted with a mouth guard. You should try one. I longer have pain in my jaw or

any headaches.

QUESTION - Suggestions Please......

Hello Group!

I have a question that I hope someone can help me with....

Last night I started getting a headache. I decided to just go to bed

to try to sleep it off. When I woke up in the morning, my head hurt

worse. On occassion, I have a bad habit of grinding/clinching my

teeth when I sleep which gives me tremendous headache. I was

apparently grinding/clinching all night so the original headache

coupled with the grinding.......made me feel like my head was a bubble

that was about to pop all day. My hubby and I were cleaning in the

garage today...and my sinus' started acting up....and you guessed

it.....WORSE HEADACHE now. Even looking at my monitor right now is

painful.

I was planning on calling Dr.P tomorrow morning, but the pain is

getting awful. I remember after surgery, we were given a " cocktail "

of Benedryl and Sudafed. Does anyone know if we can take Sudafed for

a sinus headache??? I know I should run it by Dr.P but it's late and

that man needs his rest. I will call in the morning, but I just

thought I'd check with you all to see if anyone has experienced severe

sinus pain/headaches (possibly also from allergies) & what you did for

the pain.

Also...please note....I'm not being a baby. I generally can deal with

headaches because I'm so used to them from the ridiculous

grinding/clinching habit and allergies.

Any suggestions with be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!

Thanks everyone,

I take Sudafed all the time for sinus headaches. Dr. R said it was ok.

To get rid of a sinus headache after MGB: Try any or all of

these....

You can take benedryl or sudafed- be sure it isn't a combination that

has NSAIDS in it.

Use saline nasal spray- profusely! Spray spray spray to irrigate

your sinuses. if the water is warm-- even better!

Wet a tea towel and wring it out- microwave it until it is hot but

won't scald- hold this across your eyes and re heat as necessary. You

can also lie down with a heating pad across your eyes but the moist

towel is better (for me)

Eat egg rolls with a little chinese mustard! THAT will open your

sinuses!!

Good luck!!

While I agree that a mouthguard is a great tool for grinding and clenching,

the problem for both my daughter and myself was finding it in the morning! We

both regularly took them out in our sleep and frequently threw them!

If you are grinding your teeth regularly, I would suggest seeing a dentist

about getting a mouthguard to wear to bed at night. They aren't

particularly attractive, but they will prevent you from grinding. I had a

good friend that was grinding her teeth and ended up with TMJ. She cracked

a bunch of molars and had to have a lot of expensive work done, AND she had

dreadful headaches. Don't let that happen to you!
