Members overwhelmingly validated the experience of feeling like their tongue is too big for their mouth, with many describing similar sensations of strain, soreness, burning, and pain that radiates from the root or affects one side, making it difficult to talk. Several members shared that these symptoms often occur alongside jaw pain, TMJ issues, teeth sensitivity, and mouth sores, with one member noting their neurologist recommended an orthodontist and another advising against chewing gum. A recurring theme was the frustration of having doctors dismiss these strange yet very real symptoms, with members wishing providers would recognize how common these issues are within the fibromyalgia community and take them more seriously.

If you chew gum STOP!!! That's the first thing any Orthodontist or Maxillofacial surgeon will tell you. My jaw issues are from a serious car accident when I was 20.

I get tongue pain also. I have thought the same thing like my tongue is to big for my mouth. I get sores also. It sucks! I also have major TMJ issues. My right TMJ is reconstructed. Hope you have a great day πŸ’•

I get pain too but more like someone pulled on it and hurt it from the root. My teeth hurt also as does my jaw. I also get a jaw popping noise when I chew but all of it comes and goes. My symptoms are so weird, my drs just think Im crazy. I wish they would get on this site and see how many of us have these strange symptoms and do something to help us.

Thank you πŸ’“ my Neuro told me I need to go to an orthodontist for my tongue and jaw pain. It comes and goes the last time I experienced this was in January. Usually it lasts for about a week. It's just a very uncomfortable pain, that progressively gets worse throughout the day.
