im 16 years old,and have had TMJ for over a year. i went to the doctor back in October,and she was so suprised,and said i needed to get help for it asap. and said something about getting my jaw broken and put back in place. would this help? i was born with an irregular bite, which i have read leads to tmj. sadly, i've gotten to the point where im so used to the pain in my jaw, it usually doesnt bother me,till i actually lay down at night and think about it. i cant say TMJ has ruined my life, or anything close to it, but i should would like to know what its lke to open my mouth and not hear a clicking.
thing i experience on a daily basis:
poping on both sides of my jaw, i barley open my mouth,and the right side pops.
ear aches, along with buzzing noises.
back pain, to the point it hurts to walk.
killer head aches, where it feels like my brain is pounding.
i know i shuld go to a doctor, but TMJ is not covered by insurance, most the time, so right now im waiting till my family has the money to do something about it...
any suggestions
