It feels like a tightening in your jaw. Like someone has a bolt on your jaw line and keeps tightening it until it hurts. I grind my teeth alot. It causes lots of headaches and tooth pain. Lots of face and jaw pain. Doctors say it is arthritis of the jaw.

I've heard that there is treatment for this the dentist uses splints in your mouth.
