Dr. John A. King is dealing with severe jaw pain that started after a recent doctor's visit. He's taking 16 Motrin tablets daily to manage it, can't chew solid food, and lost sleep despite his high pain tolerance. He's seeing a dentist and chiropractor to figure out if it's inflamed muscles or a back tooth problem.

So I feel like I'm in the bus lane on a Vespa or something at the moment. It's just gone nuts. Something's happened to my jaw. I had a bad doctor's report last week, and I'm either biting down really hard because it's all inflamed through the jaw, or I've got something that's happened in my back teeth. The problem is I can't get my calories in. I'm going to have to talk to Ned today. To see what I can do, but I can't eat solid food. Any chewing at all, it's just excruciating. And don't let the nanny squat out, but I'm taking 16 Motrin or something a day, which I know is probably a little excessive, but it's the only way I can stay in front of the pain curve. I've got to go train now, and that's going to hurt because the blood starts to circulate. So I don't know what to do. I've got a dentist appointment when I get home. I'm seeing the chiropractor tomorrow, but I kind of probably need to see a dentist sometime today. It's killing me, and I didn't sleep at all last night. I've got a very high pain tolerance, but I woke up in tears. This thing's absolutely excruciating. Anyway, Montrin and gym. I wonder if I can have shakes. But I'm lactose intolerant, so they bloat me up. Anyway, I'll talk to Ned, see what he thinks.
