Masseter pain, left side, only hurts when I chew.  So I've stopped chewing
for a while, what the heck.

Had it before on the right, long time ago, took a visit to my dentist who
referred me to a root canal guy who diagnosed it.  I see no need to repeat
that adventure.  But I forget how it was treated.  Ice?  Heat?  Should I
get a massage?  I have some flexoril, will that help?  Ibuprofen?  It's not
exactly excruciating but I take vicodin for a back injury and I'm sure
that's kicking it down a bit.  

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  If you can't trust medical advice
you get on Usenet from complete strangers, what can you trust?
