Jaw Clicking / Pain In Facial Muscles Posted: 01-21-06 23:57pm
Hi there, recently I have had problems
with my jaw, it feels as if its "tight".
When I open and close my mouth it
sometimes clicks but only on the left
side...
The muscles around my face have also felt
tight. Also when I move my bottom jaw
left to right it makes a clicking sound.
I have a pretty bad ulcer on my tongue at
the moment and kind of put it down to
that, as I am probably over compensating
to avoid pain.
Any help appreciated... Thanks

I'm so sorry you have to endure tmj like
the rest of us, but we're here to help!
If you've read my other posts, I'm a big
proponent of natural remedies. Doctors
are going to tell you about surgeries and
medications, and they do work for some,
but a lot of them are painful and
expensive.
I have developed a method of meditation
over the years that has really helped me
curb my tmj pain. I go into a dark room
for about a half hour and concentrate on
nothing else but my breathing and I
usually shut my eyes.
I use a product I found online called the
Face Caddy to help me with this process.
It' a velcro wrap that goes around my head
and helps me put heat packs on my jaw. I
use it during my half hour of meditation
per day and it has worked wonders for me.
Please let me know if you have any other
questions as we'd all be more than glad to
help!
stay strong...

well they will eventually get to
surgery--usually they exhaust every other
option before they even thinkog it.

Hi there, sorry for not replying for so
long.
I haven't had TMJ again since my first
posting, it was very strange. Thankfully
it wasn't too bad, I didn't suffer any
headaches, just a tight feeling across my
face and jaw.
