Facial pain when smiling—anyone else?

Whenever I try to smile, my face actually starts to ache and feels kind of tight, you know? Like, the smile just doesn't feel as big or as easy as it used to be. It’s almost like when you haven't hit the gym in a while and your muscles start feeling a bit stiff if you try to go for a long walk 😢😕Does anyone here know anything about this?

Maybe just a bit of frayed nerves!

Yeah, at first glance, we're likely looking at nerve inflammation.
It ought to settle down within a few days if you give it enough time.

That happened to me too, honestly; I think you’re just dealing with some major nerve irritation, but it’ll probably pass in a few days or so, I guess.👍

So wait, does this mean I don't actually have to do anything? Like, am I just supposed to place some bets or something?

E, I have something similar going on... if I laugh for too long, by the third or fourth time I just can't keep it up. I can't really force the smile anymore because it starts to hurt, too.
