I needed to get my teeth cleaned.....when the dentist examined my teeth....first one to ever ask me this...he said he knew I was clenching and grinding my teeth because of how the surface of my teeth looked.....
He diagnosed me with TMJ - which is Tempormandibularjoint disorder.....and now I wear a nightguard.
Within a few weeks, the pain was gone and my arm was fully functional.

thanks.
Do you still need to wear the guard or are you cured?
