(tongue in cheek) I do not like spending money either.
The muscular symptoms that we face can show up at any time in any place.

YES! This is a huge problem for me. Unfortunately I have no idea what causes it - except it happens to me usually when I have been at work which involves a lot of talking and smiling.  I sort of took it to be the muscles being painful when they get tired, but only a guess.  I am not properly diagnosed with sjgrens, though I am pretty sure that will come.

Thanks

Cindy, I agree with the others,  seems like overuse of any muscle just makes them hurt, including our smiler muscles.  I am glad that they are getting a workout when they hurt, sometimes it's hard to find a reason to smile!

This could also be some referred pain from spasms in the ducts draining the parotid glands. I will get pain in both cheeks off and on. Can't say that it hurts when or from talking, but when my cheeks hurt, they hurt. Irish

Yup I get this too. Isn't this where the Parotid glands are?

I agree with Irish.  I think it has something to do with your Parotid Gland...good luck!

I know it's not the same thing but my daughter's jaw sometimes "locks up". It only happens when she is eating. We have never had a good explanation of why it happens.

I have to agree with the others and could I add that I get those muscles pains in the strangest of places! Sometimes I don't mention it because those that really do not get it just make that "That's strange face"!
Hope your cheeks settle down soon.  I imagine that feels awful:(

I have had this before.  Sometimes they will hurt like I had been working out my cheek muscles.  It comes and goes!  Hope you are doing well.   Keep in touch my friend!
