[TPIN] Air pressure injury?

[Jeanne G Pocius]

Examine your jaw: you may be thrusting the lower jaw forward (which is VERY bad!)....
   
  Dropping the jaw is fine, but do NOT EVER push the lower jaw outward or you risk injury to the temporo-mandibular-joint (TMJ)....
   
  Please contact me off list if you'd like some more details....

Take Care!

  I'm a come-back amateur player, been playing again for about 4-5 years after 
25 years off the horn. Things have been going pretty well but I've recently 
developed a problem. Occassionally when I'm playing a high note I get this 
sharp pain in the soft area below my right ear and behind my jaw. It feels 
like something gives there from the air pressure. I'm playing in a 
community theatre musical pit band right now and it happened about 3/4 way 
through the show last night. I continued to play but it continued to bother 
me, and I'm somewhat concerned about playing again tonight. What's this 
about? Has anybody experienced this and have any advice? Thanks.
