TMJ treatments
I've been to two ENTs and they both seem to think that I have TMJ. I have severe, severe ear pain (almost to the point of nausea at times), cheek bone pain, and jaw pain. I don't think I've ever had pain like this in my life!
I'm on a week of steroids and muscle relaxers, but after that was told to see an oral surgeon for other options.
It seems like a lot of treatment is done at home on your own. I'm wondering what's been successful and just a starting point to hopefully get some relief from this pain :(
TIA

Re: TMJ treatments
Do you have a night guard?
Also staying away from
Anything chewy or things you have to open your mouth wide to eat. Bagels,sandwiches Etc. may help

Re: TMJ treatments
No night guard yet. The ENT today said the oral surgeon would discuss that.

Re: TMJ treatments
I would get a night guard. I know that was the first step for my grandfather before surgery. They sell them at cvs.

Re: TMJ treatments
I see the TMJ expert. Are you in LI? If so, I can recommend him to you. He is awesome. I have a mouth guard he makes for me. I usually try to avoid certain foods that are chewy and if I have been lax with my bite plate, I start using it again. B/c at night is the main time I am grinding and don't know I am and can't control myself.
I don't think an oral surgeon is the one to see. You need a TMJ specialist.

He is very $ but worth every penny to get rid of my pain.
