Life with Lingering Pain
Every morning, a dull ache in your jaw reminds you of an unresolved issue. You sip coffee gingerly, avoiding cold drinks and pause meals when a sharp jolt hits. Phone calls become tests of endurance as you clutch your cheek. You tell yourself to wait it out, assuming it will ease on its own. You may find yourself reaching for painkillers more often. That pattern drains energy & distracts from work or family time.
