Hi, ive had tmj for a few months now. It
was really painful at first, although now
is much better. Definately bareable
anyway.
Theres still lots of popping and crunching
noises on the left side when I open my
mouth.
I have a small lump just ahead of my right
ear where the tmj is and now also have
tenderness right on the bottom corner of
my jaw, I think thats the mandible.
These werent present in the first months
of my symptoms.
Does anyone else have this, or know why?
Thanks
~sam

Tmj Lumps Posted: 12-06-05 21:59pm
Sam. First thing you need to do is to
have it checked. I have severe tmj and
severe chronic myofascial disease. I have
small lumps along my jaw line and into the
sids of my mouth called trigger points.
You should research them but please get
the lump checked. Trigger points are
small and mine feel like very painful
little dried up peas when touched.
