>>I heard this loud pop and my jaw hurt tremendously. I did not tell

my mom for fear of having to leave the party and see a doc, and over

speaking with my daughter's orthodontist. This may have turned into

the causes of all my sleep problems, my insane dependence on Mt. Dew.,

my ears popping and clicking all my life.....

I had this problem. It appears to be mostly gone now. I am chelating

myself with ALA, and I take several supplements, mostly anti-virals,

yeast control, and mito cocktail. My guess is it is one of those

protocols that is eliminating the problem.

Have you looked into TMJ(temporo mandibular joint dislocation)? My

husband has TMJ, and he talks about his jaw popping and feeling

better after that. He had terrible issues with biting, teeth grinding

and ringing/popping in the ears. A lot of these symptoms improved

with ALA/DMSA chelation. Calcium and in particular Zinc seems to be

working really well.

I have TMJ terribly. You need to see a dentist who treats it, or

maxiofacial surgeon/dentist who treats it. Doctors don't do much for

this. On occassion when I feel that it is popped out, my chiropractor

has adjusted it for me. They have wonderful retainers you wear when

you sleep...they are heaven because they reduce all the symptoms and

pain. There is not much else as far as cure goes. Mainly TMJ stems

from an improper bite that is not corrected. (it can be from injury

too like a blow to the face)So often times, orthodontics can help it.

In my case, I had the mis-aligned bite as a start. I then suffered a

few injured to my jaw by falling and hitting my front teeth. When I

was a teen I had a head injury that involved hitting the side of my

head on the floor. That one really did it in. Later on a bike accident

when I face planted, chin first into the pavement.

Needless to say...I have it, it hurts. What helps:

Taking zinc, removing my mercury fillings, and don't chew gum. Getting

a night guard retainer. My teeth grinding and pain was reduced

probably 90 percent with removing my metal fillings. According Dr.

Huggins book, mercury fillings release mercury vapor into the

surrounding facial muscles and cause them to contract and spasm. This

makes for painful neck/face and jaw muscles as well as severe

headaches. I can attest he was right. I have been free of that with

removal.

They do have surgery for this, but it's risky and many people end up

worse off. So not advisable. And yes, it makes tinnitus (ringing ears)

in some people.

Sorry, can't help you but I also know the pain you go through. I

blame my EX brother-in-law for my problems. Well I can probably put

some blame on being loose jointed but it didn't start until he hit

me. When I was 16 my EX-BIL smacked me in the face so hard I flew

over the couch and my jaw hit a window seal. Ever since then my jaw

pops and dislocates. I had braces but it didn't help. I clinch my

teeth alot in my sleep, don't really grind them. Neck pain is awful

but I refuse to take any drugs! Popping and clicking noises in the

ears sucks! I always thought I was hearing the popping and cracking

that was in my neck.

I've heard the night guard helps alot. I don't have one so I don't

know from experience. Listen to Jada about the surgery cause I've

heard it can cause problems too.

I got TMJ shortly after having all 4 of my wisdom teeth cut out in my

late teens. It was very painful. I suffered with this for years and

yes it did cause teeth grinding. Sometimes it was all I could do to

open my mouth wide enough to eat. The dentist had told me that it

could have been caused from them stretching my mouth open too far

during the procedure, but he didn't have any fixes for it at that

time. Somehow, mine just went away on its own about 10-15 years ago

(I'm 42 now), not sure why especially since I still have my amalgams.

I absolutely hate going to the dentist and rarely do ever since that

time. I just take really good care of my teeth and don't have any

problems, but at some point I'm going to have to get those fillings

out, UGH!
