Is there anyone on this forum who have to wear a srs? I have been wearing a srs (splint) 24/7 for a week now for my tmd. The pain has gotten a whole lot worse. I have severe cramping in my jaws as well as tension headaches, sinus headaches, migraines, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, and earaches. I had this pain before I got the splint but not as severe. I went to my orthodontist today and when I told him the pain was worse he replied "huh?" that is not something I want to hear from my doctor. He couldn't understand why I wasn't getting better and told me to see a physical therapist and possibly get cortisone injections. Has anyone else gotten worse from wearing a splint? If so what did you do? Anyone had to see a physical therapist? Injections? I really need help, I can't live like this anymore. :cry:
