Brief Answer:
Could be related to nerves issues but quite unlikely!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
The nature of pain makes it suggestive of a possible nerve problem. This is because nerves are so easily damaged except you have other disease conditions such as diabetes. I will suggest that you go with tylenol for the pulse muscle. If this fails to address the pains, then you would need a doctor’s visit for evaluation and treatment.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Keep me posted on what the results of this trial and evolution of the pain is.

Hi,
Can you please share your list of medications with me? Medications are the most common cause of mouth dryness. For now, sip water often. Avoid sugary drinks for this purpose.

im not on any medications, I don't drink sugary drinks. dry mouth is a syndrome and its a symptom from nerve damage. my mouth itches on the inside more than it its dry I have food allergies and I have been eating a lot of cheese.
Brief Answer:
Alone, it is not suggestive of nerve damage!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Dry mouth alone wouldn’t be suggestive of a nerve damage. Mouth dryness, alongside dryness of the eyes and arthritis is common in Reiters syndrome. Another cause could be an autoimmune disease which has destroyed the glands that produce saliva. If this is a short term observation, I will not want to think it is linked to any longterm disease condition.
Given the not so typical presentation, I will suggest you get examined and at least some tests done to establish what the exact nature of your symptoms and possible cause is for appropriate management.
Keep me posted on this, I will suggest you see your primary care doctor, first!
