Hi Willow,
Over the past 4 years, I have heard various theories from doctors, chiropractors, dentists, phsyio, etc. There is definately a muscular component so I could try the baclofen. Do you have facial pain? My is constant but varies in degree. I've had an MRI of my neck and an X-Ray of my TM joint but nothing shows up. I don't have any clicking or locking of the jaw just pain in the face, neck and shoulder.

I have used flexeril and found all it is good for is knocking me out and over time it lost this effect. The baclofen takes a while to start helping, but I haven't had any severe spasms since starting it.
