Tmj Sufferer Would Like Some Insight Please! Posted: 01-29-06 00:40am
Hi all,
i, myself, am a sufferer of tmj (1.5 years
now), and have tried various things to
cure my disorder but have been seldom
successful to date.
Something that pops up as a question for
me is always:
i read constantly about experiences and
tmj “pain”. I’m really confused as
to this because I myself don’t actually
feel physical pain (unless I forced my jaw
to open its full amount). My jaw simply
does not function in the way that it used
to prior to my tmj (in that I cannot bring
the bottom jaw forward to bite my nails
anymore, cannot open my jaw as wide, and I
cannot pronounce certain letters in words
properly because my jaw is not as mobile
anymore).
I would like to know is this the same
thing? Is this what other sufferers mean
by pain because i’m confused on that
note.
I would to know what you're all
experiencing when it comes to movement
with your jaw, ie, difficulty speaking,
and things I had mentioned above. For all
of us, tmj commenced in so many different
ways but I just want to find out what kind
of mobility you all have and what it feels
like for you??
Hope to hear from you.
Thank you.

Hi there aussiev - this is ginny off the
tmj friends where I first saw your name
& message. I have discovered a sight
that will tell you everything you want or
need to know about tmj - www.Jawjointpainrelief.Com

it is absolutely brillient and if you
don't understand your problem after
reading the whole lot of information
there, then you are never going to find
your answers. Best of luck and wishes

Thank you thats a brilliant site!!
I guess tmj symptoms can be so different
to person to person and mine seems to be
on the painless side however I get a lot
of stiffness throughout the day
(especailly later on in the day after
talking alot) and I have mobility
problems....Thats my situation in a
nutshell. I mean I can talk ppl at work
dont even know im suffering because I try
my best to look normal when I speak...But
I do struggle at times and it really
irritates me.
I find it hard to find someone with tmj
with the exact same symptoms as me.. If
anyone does pls do contact me id love to
hear from you.
Thank you.

Hi again aussiev - dana from
tmjfriends.Com e-mailed me another really
great sight and one she visits often.
It is www.Drshankland.Com
this is also a very good sight and apart
from these two there are plenty around.
If you go back to links on the tmjfriends
you will also find a lot there or private
message the administrators on that sight
as they are extremely helpful and
knowledgeable. Hope you are having a
better day. Regards
