I might add here that the condylar head has degenerative defects according to the radiologist. He said the cartiledge disc my be to far forward causing bone on bone movement. I am seeing an Oral Surgeon monday. I cannot imagine just living with this. I think I would opt for a joint replacement if it is that bad. I have pain 24 hours a day.

Usually This is treated through anti inflammatory medication. You can place a moist heating pad on the joints for fifteen minutes, several times a day. Eat soft foods and avoid eating anything hard. You have to rest the joint.

7 years ago I've been involved in a car wreck and even since suffered with severe on and off facial and jaw pain. I've tried almost everything western medicine had to offer and had visited countless of specialist, had done ct scans, and therapies but to no avail. The doctors I have been to had persisted that there wasn't anything wrong with me and that almost drove me crazy as I was going through hell from this condition. According to all my symptoms I was diagnosed by a holistic doctor as having TMJ and he had recommended this book to me. After following the recommendation in the book for several weeks, it had changed my life. I got immediate relief after following the unique set of exercises in the book and after 2 weeks the jaw and face pain had completely gone. I only wish I would have ordered this program years ago. It would have saved me a lot of pain and anguish.

I have it myself and i saw a specialist who said Celebrex for the inflammation and other than that if gets worse you may half to see the specialist and he puts a needle in the jaw to suck out the inflammation. I was like no way! So I wasn't covered by celebrex, so I take Tylenol arthritis when it aches and it helps alot. You can't operate so your just stuck with it. My doctor was in Rhode Island and his name is Dr. English. Find a good doctor who specializes in TMJ & Best of Luck to you!!

you have to change your diet... it's all it in the texture of what you eat... however the dentist will recommend a 3000 dollar therapy that isn't guaranteed to work
