I have a severe disorder in my tmj joint, from the minute i wake up till the minute i go to bed im in sever pain. I have been that way for 3 years now. I have been to every doctor, surgeon, and specialist in my area, with no results. I'm currently taking Vicodin ES for my pain but it doesn't work. I find myself taking large amounts of IBProfin with the vicodin to control my pain but nothing is working anymore. I need a good Pain Management center to help me. I can't even live my life anymore the pain is so bad. If anyone knows of a good doctor to help me out with my med's i would appreciate it. I'm still currently seeking out a solution to this problem i just need this in the mean time so i can continue with my life. I work a fulltime job that i have had for the past 8 years and my pain is staring to affect my job. i need help.

You are going to hate this answer (but I have suffered from TMJ too, and drugs did not help). Yoga has provided the only relief. Look into it.
