how i can get my life back from tmj
by dxcwgr, Oct 04, 2009 11:46AM
I have had tmj since i was 13 i am now 22, while i had braces i several appliances put in my mouth that was suppost to help align my jaw, they both worked for awhile then would stop, i have tried everything from mouth guards to pain meds and herbal remedies and the all just seem to help for a week or two and then it goes back to hurting. Most of the time the pain is not to sever but in the winter my jaw will keep me from eating pretty much anything it hurts s bad and about once a year it will lock shut, the drs say that its not lockjaw its just that the joints get stiff from the tmj. I cant afford surgery since my health and dental wont cover tmj, and my dr says more then likely it wont do anything. Does anybody no anything else I can try because im out od ideas

Seeing a competent tmj specialist is advised.
