Hello,
As you are mentioning that you have a habit of grinding your teeth, it can be possible that because of this habit you have developed the problem of temporomandibular disorder means your joint of jaw (temporomandibular joint) has become tensed and even the muscles attached to it.
I think you continue with the rest medications but also consult with a dentist for this problem and get a complete examination of the joint done, as he will prescribe some muscle relaxants and it is this problem only then you will be fine.
Hope it will help you.
