Things Do Get Missed?
Posted: 08-18-07 13:36pm

Hey everyone, sometimes they send you for all kinds of tests and things DO get missed. Take it from someone who knoes. but anyway ,my jaw was Totally missed, and it was SEVERELY DISLOCATED. and the fact that my jaw popped out SIDEWAYS...... it was missed by about 8 different doctors, even a tmj specialist. the sideways dislocation did not pick up on the xrays, and mri's. so keep that in mind. i know other people this has happened to also. So when they tell you all checks out Ok, and you still have problems... be skeptical. and NEVER buy into the " its all in your head response" dont let them pull you into that trap..... cindy

Yea? i know what you mean, and tmj pain can be tricky. its really hard to decipher it at times. they miss stuff, and the tests miss stuff, then ususally you get the line"its all in your head" cindy

most of it you have to look for and if you arent looking for it (it does show up on the tests) you dont see it.
