Subj: Slight jaw pain just above and behind the temples...
Date: Sun, 29 Dec 1996 16:47:08 -0500

Hello!

Lately, when I have been practicing I have felt slight jaw pain just
above and behind the right and left temples when I sometimes play in the
3rd 8va. I know that I'm not pinching...I'm always keeping the jaw down.

Does anyone know why this may be occuring or has anyone experienced this
before? Could it just be that I'm "overdoing" keeping the jaw down?

Thanks!
