I have TMJ disorder and want to know if anyone knows anyway to ease the pain right there by your ear?

Question

I had oral surgery years ago and my jaw has just never been the same especially when I get really stressed. I woke up today and cant even bite down all the way on the left side of my teeth. Its like my whole jaw is off and it hurts. Im pregnant so cant take much.HELP!!

Answer 1

I have it too. Put an ice bag on your jaw...it really helps. Also, take ibuprofen. Try to keep your stress levels down. Good luck!

Answer 2

mostly u r grinding ur teeth while sleeping, this is why u get morning pain and inability to bite, its easy, its just a device called night gaurd made on a model for ur teeth, u wear it by night, it will help a lot, unless u have dishrmony between upper and lower teeth, this is ur only problem, follow the link, will show u how this device looks like
