I've suffered from tmj for about a year now. I went to an oral & maxillofacial surgeon. He didn't see a thing wrong with me. Absolutely nothing. He gave me anti-inflammintories.

He was about to leave, and I pointed out that when I open my mouth wide, I my jaw makes a much larger bump on my right side of my jaw than the left. He saw it, and was concerned. He sent me for an mri.

I just went for the mri last week. After a minute in the mri machine, I had a panic attack and wasn't able to get back in. I don't have a follow up visit with the oral & maxillofacial surgeon.


As of right now, my face feels horridly messed up. I think i've cracked my jaw one too many times, and it just feels really messed up. I feel like i've done permanant damage to myself. I felt this way before I went to the o&m surgeon, but as I said, he didn't notice a thing wrong with me.

I have no idea what to do. I have no pain, it just feels like the right side of my jaw is a rock and doesn't move. Again, I think i've messed it up in the past by putting pressure on it/cracking it/attempting to put it back into place.

Again, I have no idea what to do and am very very sad.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
