    Hi

    I quite often get jaw ache with my RA, sometimes it feels like my teeth wont meet anymore, can be really painful, luckily it hasnt lasted too long in my jaw, fingers crossed.

    Love Barbara

    Hi
    yes i too get jaw ache had it about 5 months now, some days worse then others, i find it hard to chew meat or anything that needs a bit more chewing or to open my month very wide.
    when it first started i went to the dentist as i thought maybe an abcess or something to do with my teeth, but no, its arthur :( i have RA.
    hope it doesnt last to long with you

    Yep, you've all described it down to a 'T'. I'm off for my first Rheummy appointment next Tuesday so I will no doubt come back with more questions!
