My mom used to go through phazes of sleeping with a mouthgaurd and Im assuming she had TMJ.
My jaws have always been tight. From my temple down to the bottom. And for the past week Ive had so much pain when I try to open my mouth especially when I wake up. I usually just put some biofreeze on it and try to do some stretches but sometimes it hurts and is popping so hard I cant even chew cuz Im scared Ill really screw it up.
Im just looking for some advice for treatment if anyone else has dealt with this. Ive only gone into work one day this week because my jaw is just so tired and is giving me a bad headache.
When Ive looked up info on sites its mentioned surgery etc. So I just want to know if there is anything I can do to avoid the surgery and still heal it even if it takes longer.
And I TRIED TO SEARCH!!! Nothing came up though.
