I have TMJD. I lost major teeth on my right side from grinding. I have occasional lost grip right-sighted and vertigo stemming from the right. I have two splints which are adjusted often. I take muscle relaxers. Mine is mostly stress related so I am seeing a psychiatrist for antianxiety Meds. It all seems affected. I had severe pain, a ten and felt my jaw was dropping down, but it seemed like adjustment and healing. I am feeling relief outweighing the pain. So although a lot of patients at the University Med Center are going the neurology route, I am sticking with this for now. I will ask my dentist about injections.
botox is dangerous...try prolotherapy.

when my tmj/neck problems/headaches flare up these treatments help tremendously and are not dangerous
I had ten days of relief after my first set of injections. My pain specialist says I will even have more relief after the next set. I know this is not a cure but if it can help me to get thru the day without severe pain then it is worth doing!!!
Botox probably is not an effective regimen for relieving tmj related headache.
