Q: Weird Tmj Symptoms
asked by: drewby on December 16th, 2006

Whats up guys...I was wondering if anybody has been experiencing really weird tmj symptoms. I was diagnosed about a month ago after nearly losing my mind. Next week my tmj doctor is going to be putting in an orthotic device that I will have to wear for about ten months. However my symptoms have been a little different than everybody else's. My jaw actually doesn't hurt that bad...It seems that my jaw is the only thing that doesn't hurt. I've been having horrible pain in my neck back, especially lower back, chest, shoulders and arms. Also, my ring and pinky fingers on my left hand have been numb for about 4 months now. I just wanted to know if anybody has symptoms like these from tmj. It feels like my body just collapsed over night a few months ago, and I haven't been able to get it back. All this has been too much for me. I am only 19 but I feel like i'm 119. It sucks!!! Also, I would like to maybe read some success stories if anybody has them. I guess it would be nice to have some hope left that maybe i'll get back to normal. Thanks for any input!

Hey There
first off id like to say welcome. second i also feel like im 123 and im only 23. there are so many things that i dont do anymore because of it. however since you say that your neck and back and arms are effected that leads me to think that your atlas is out of alignment. you should find a good atlas orthoganist.(chiropractor---make sure that he is an atlas orthoganist) i had those very same problems untill i went to one. if you like pm me and let me know where you are and i can have my doctor give me a referral in your area. feel free to contact me at any time. i also have a hunch that you wont have to wear that splint for ten months. contact me and ill offer you an option that you will only have to do for 3 months. I hope that i have helped you and let me know what else i can do for you---ive had this for 15 years so beleive me i know what im doing. Very Happy
