Struggling with new mouth guard

For many reasons I am not going to bore people with I am so stressed atm that I'm grinding my teeth when asleep. This has caused a lot of tooth and jaw pain. My dentist sorted out a mouth guard and I have picked it up today..but I'm in even more pain :(

The dentist said it would start to feel better in a few days, maybe a couple of months !

I understand that it will take time to get use to the guard but I have to wear it full time until the pain stops and I don't think I can make out to the end of the day. Has anyone else had a mouth guard, how long does it take to get use to it ?

Sigh, I was so looking forward to getting done proper sleep. Oh well, off to pick up DD1 from school and redress her wound, make tea that I can't eat, think I'll take done painkillers at bed time if it doesn't ease off by then.

Glad inlaws are with you, one less thing to worry about.
