I have no pain when lying down, only when waking/sitting in upright
position. As soon as I get up in the morning (about 10 min. into day)
my jaw begins to ache terribly on one side. Also, muscle relaxants
(which I occasionally take for muscle spasm in my back) greatly help
the pain in my jaw joint.

Any opinions?
