I’m Not Sure What To Say Or How To Make

I’m not sure what to say or how to make sense of it. But ever since I had a tonsillectomy (at 16 years old ) being 6 years ago , I have loud gulps for swallows ALWAYS , ears pop when I swallow ALWAYS , sometimes my nose runs very randomly , & worst of all my lower jaw. My lower jaw seems to involuntary jolt/jerk forward , happens when I eat , talk , think, drink , very often and I for the last 6 years developed a heavy anxiety and shame from this as my family told me why my jaw jolts is noticeable , loud & uncomfortable to hear and see while eating. I’ve isolated myself for to long because of these things , if I could go back in time I wouldn’t have ever got that surgery. But I suffered extreme tonsillitis, if I remember correctly the emerge said they were the size of golf balls and I was diagnosed with tonsillitis atleast twice a month. The ER would drain them regularly. Constantly was taking amoxicillin until I became to prone , then finally got them removed. My mother refused to allow me any medication prescribed being morphine & steroids I believe ? I was in the worst pain of my life and felt every minute of my wombs throbbing. I also was told by my surgeon I had woken up in the middle of surgery and caused my wombs to re-tear , not sure if that affects ? But I assume due to how large my tonsils use to be , affecting my air way. That maybe surgeons had to dislocate my jaw to remove the tonsils. But now my jaw constantly locks and jolts and I’m just sick of living like this.
