Hello all, A few days ago I yawned really big and my left side of my lower jaw felt like it dislocated from my upper jaw and iv been dizzy and its been swollen. I went to the ER because I kept messing with my jaw which made it worse until I felt like i was gonna pass out. The doctor told me its TMJ and I should take motrin and use heat pads till it fixed itself. Iv been taking the motrin and I do feel much better even though I still feel as if my jaw isnt lined up right. They took xrays and a catscan and everythings fine but its still annoying. But my question is, will smoking irritate the tmj? Im not talking about smoking a pack a day here, just 1 or 2 a day. Im just worried about lighting up and then my jaw swelling up again and me going crazy like I did the other day about it. thanks
