Can Anyone Recommend a Treatment For Tmj?

I have something that you could try. Most people that have no clue about tmd think that its all in our heads. that is baloney and dont let them make you think you are nuts. I know that i have been to doctors that didnt want to treat me. now i have a team of doctors that treat me an i no longer have tmj pain. get a hold of me by pm or email and we will talk

in the mean time try using heat and ice.I prefer heat --but that is just me. also if you are in a ton of pain and cant take it any more take 4 ibuprophen (do you have that in england?) with water and food.

looking forward to talking to you.

Hi there

yes, it really is all in our heads -- simply because our jaws are in our heads, LOL.
I'm very happy to have found this site, as I have all these symptoms and they have recently become worse - dizzyness, more floaters in eyes etc. I also feel like everyone just thinks I'm a hyperchondriac, and I try to shut up about my pain when with others but actually I just need to talk about it.
I had a cold last week and hence couldn't breathe through my nose, so my mouth was open the whole night -- didn't have any pain symptoms during that time!!! so I was very sad to see my blocked nose clear up, as horrible as the cold was and as dry as my mouth was in the middle of the night, it was so much better to have no pain the next day! So guess a gum-guard is the way forward. I'd put a peg on my nose if I could ... Anyway, I've been reading up on a site that mentions chinese treatments, and they reckon that grinding jaw problems has to do with an imbalance in the liver, as well as kidneys, and they describe certain vitamins to take to get it back into balance. I have not tried it yet, but it seems to make sense. -- ,


good luck and happy chewing
