Hug
TMJ can be debilitating!! It's SERIOUS, and can lead to other problems. It's weird that it's so common, when I had never heard of anyone with it. Today, I went to a TMJ specialist at UCLA. Compared to what he usually sees, I think I was a bit of a disappointment, so now I feel lucky that I don't have horrendous pain or headaches, etc. Taking Aleve morning and night is what this doc recommended, soft food, small bites, chew slowly, and then there are exercises that are listed in Little Miss Rosie's DS discussion. Are you wporking with any doctor/dentist? Hope so. Hugs, and hope you feel better! Kate Longstory

Close TMJ
I got braces when I was a teenager. A few years later I started getting TMJ. Its pretty serious now and my jaw is permanently locked halfway closed. I get serious jaw, head, shoulder, tooth, face, tongue,neck pain a couple times a year. I have to be careful what I eat as it aggravates it.
