TMJ Jaw Pain

[iamthemonsterman8908]

this frickin sucks... I'm in so much pain right now, I need a mouthguard for when I sleep

[Rock4U1992]

i feel you brother, im 16 and cant sleep frequently because of head aches.........also it is hard to support my head and have a proper posture because of dizziness

[ekaluy]

Aw, hell.

[Alaron251]

I'm only 16 and i've got it.

[CalicoCatMissPeaches]

Dear tmj suffers as I was. Please do your homework. Research the LVI philosophy of treating tmj. It is the only scientific approach that is non-surgical.

[4thKyuubi]

Is this Tmj curable? Or is it permanent once you get it?

[Obould420]

I have TMJ and my jaw/neck get sore about 2-3 times a week, but my jaw clicks probably every time I open my mouth. Sometimes it drives me insane, I hate it.

[tunez000]

get well soon mate ive got it to its not good

[othfreak252]

same thing for me.

clicking drives me crazy

and sometimes i cant eat b/c it hurts too much to chew.

my orthodontist gave me a night guard but its done nothing. and im going to the dentist soon.

[junskey]

i got this at my dentists office (how ironic) they put a clamp in my mouth so it forced my mouth open and i started gagging. when i left the office i had it :[. had it for 2 years its the most annoying fucking thing ive ever experienced.

note: Mouthguards dont work, they just supress it... im gonna try and see a chiropractor maybe that will work

[Mk200114]

I got it at the dentist office too, when I got my wisdom teeth removed. That was...six years ago? It's slowly gotten worse and worse, although it's only painful when I have to keep my mouth open for long periods, when I get my teeth cleaned.

[4thKyuubi]

"You had it for 2 years, .......[youve] experiencED."

You got it fixed? As in no clicking, pain lock or whatsoever like brand new? If you did, please tell me what you did. Mine has been going on for four years. I only had the pain for like 2 months and never i had the pain again. Just the clicking, the clicking never went away. Is it even possible to cure this?

[Thecomputergamer2008]

it was strange because i ate a few harribo sweets and then my jaw just locked? WTF?

[StarShadow666]

my dentist toldmei have slight TMJ. it sucks too cause i love singing but it hurts after a few minutes. Gah....jaws.

[ausra2ls]

go to neuromuscular dentist they will help you!!!

[JanksterProductions]

ive been getting headaches and i think this is why.

[suzukijirotto]

Well, I only have 1 of the symptoms.

I can open my mouth fully, but if I do that, there'll be two pops. one from each side of my mandible. So I can't open my mouth properly without there being a couple of pops. It sucks a lot but at least mine is painless.

Is there a remedy for this or am I stuck with this popping forever until I finally get a lockjaw?

[Bobdabuilda13]

I have that gay shit to only on my right side. It pisses me off so much. I think someone shud tell me a cure :D

[kooldog98]

i have it on my right side as well. when i sleep on my right side i cant open my jaw fully unless i turn onto my left side and wiggle my jaw a bit until it pops into place. its so fucking annoying.

[4thKyuubi]

I have the same thing, I got it in bitting off of a really hard cereal bar. This is like the most annoying in the world and i've had it for like 3 years now.

[ausra2ls]

wear orthotic it will help you

[mimigrownup]

I have it too. it hurts so badly, what would one do to treat/prevent it from now on?

weird, its only on the right side

[kikyoue]

i've had tmj since i was younger they didn't know what i had until i was around 15 or 16. it's been getting worse since last year i'm 21 now.

[313criminal]

I am 17 and because of my TMJ I popped my jaw out of place and ruptured 2 cysts on the main artery in my neck.

[blastdude12]

im 16 and because of a hour long-jaw stretching root canal i have tmj for over 2 years now

[anglicansoul]

this is sort of what i have except it doesnt hurt when i lay on it or touch it. Only really intense pain sometime when eating and the feeling my teeth dont align. I went to see a doctor and a dentist, i am having a shield for my teeth specially made and im on medication for it. But both of them have said that i will have to wait 1 month and if nothing has improved, they are both going to refer me to a hospital.

[mrbiswas11]

thats nothin im only 2 and i got tmj from my pacifier. sucks!

[hollie1586]

i have 6 out of 7 of the symptoms. i actually went to the doctor today about it and she didnt mention TMJ but im pretty sure i have it. she said that it is very common in women my age (21)! i have made an appointment with the dentist for next week to see if he can do anything about it. he might make a teeth shield to prevent grinding during the night.

[kairon156]

I get like 4/6 of the pains. pluss from as long as I rember I tend to bite down on my teeth or grind my teeth in my sleep.

of the 6 symptoms I have...

-ear pain

-sore jaw muscles

-temple & cheek pain

-head & neck aches

ps I'm 23 years old and I also sleep resting my left jaw/cheak on my left hand like 85% of the time...

[ausra2ls]

go to neuromuscular dentist dont!!!!

[scchharoundthecorner]

me too and i'm only 16

[cbdamidget45]

omg lol i have tmj im only thirteen

[springfeildshopper]

i think i have this im not sure and im 14

[BlackHaloGoddess93]

I've had this since I was 12. I'll be 15, they say that you should not have something as bad as this at this age, however, it happens, and it sucks. Very painful, mine is in a bad stage.

[springfeildshopper]

[mona186]

[javierjjs]
