About 8 years ago they found I had NO cartiledge at all in either joint. I know how painful it can be... What I have found to help was massaging right below the ear, where the jaw joint is. It helps me alot... Also a splint, ( a football or sport mouth piece works well ) to wear at night. Lots of anti inflamatories too. LOL My mom had 3 surgeries (2 on one side and one on the other) for TJM. They were successfull, but Really painful and along recovery. Don't want to go there for me. LOL Hope you are doing well.. I love you bunches.... hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
