Who doesn't like to complain?

It started with my right knee.
It would start to hurt if I was on it for a while, a knee brace helped. Went to the orthopedic surgeon, he said it was: *insert two big medical terms here* knee syndrome, sometimes it shows up in active teenage girls.
Treatment: Knee exercises and aleve.
Next it was my right foot, it hurt to walk sometimes and hurt when I went to bed.
Diagnosis: I pronate (a.k.a. walk on the insides of my feet).
Treatment: Adding more support to the shoe inserts I already owned.
Huzzah.
Now, though: the left side of my jaw. It started when one night a couple weeks ago. I forgot to wear my retainers. IT WAS ONE NIGHT. In the morning I couldn't open my mouth all the way, then my jaw would pop while I ate breakfast, but it would go away. Unfortunately it's gotten worse and this morning it hasn't gone away. Biting into toast caused a lot of pain.
I'll be calling the dentist tomorrow.
