[|AI|]  Hello, I can understand your concern. All the conditions you are suffering from, lupus, Bells Palsy and TMJ problems, affect the jaw, so it is very difficult to say what is causing you the pain right now. As you have problem with opening the mouth, I think it must be the TMJ problem that is causing the pain. You can take Ibuprofen 400 mg or Motorola 10 mg up to thrice a day to have relief in pain. In addition, you should see a pain management clinic or a neurologist for the control of pain regarding all the condition you are suffering from. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I wish you feel better soon. Best,
