tight stomach muscles from tmj Posted: 12-29-07 17:31pm
Does anyone have tight stomach muscles
from tmj and see their stomach constantly
rumbling and tight?
I know its related to my tmj and i can't
seem to stop it and it think its
destroying my stomach and immune system
how does one stop it...Its from a pinched
nerve i think in my tmj area..Its actualyl
more painful and annoying than the tmj
pain...

i even did a search on this and basically
wikipedia shows this type of pain is
neuralgic in nature which i already
knew...
"While conventional analgesic pain killers
such as paracetamol or NSAIDs provide
initial relief for some sufferers, the
pain is often more neuralgic in nature
which often does not respond well to these
drugs.[citation needed]
An alternative approach is for pain
modification, for which off-label use of
low-doses of Tricyclic antidepressant that
have anti-muscarinic properties (e.g.
Amitriptyline or the less sedative
Nortriptyline) generally prove more
effective"
And a lot of the drugs are antispasmodic
which is basically what is needed to
control this maybe pepperment could
control this as i have taken the tea and
it calms it down a little...

Yes a lot of us hae tight muscles--use
heat and ice to relax the muscles --you
can also use mssage and muscle relaxers.

the only thing that works is ativan which
is a muscle relaxer for that...im sick of
taking drugs tho i dont like feeling
spaced out just to loosen my
stomach...heat pads get annoying too maybe
i should buy an electronic one so i don't
have to keep getting water and heating it
all the time..
i thought magnesium would help this but so
far it seems like its doing nothing...i
need more calcium probably too

some things dont work for some people. it
really just depends on you. have you tried
flexeril? I dont take anything for it . i
just live with it from day to day. yes get
an electric heating pad. you can even get
on that has a little cloth that you can
get wet so that you have moist heat.
