cherriepie Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Does anyone else suffer or have suffered with this? I've never experienced pain like it! Living on soup and yogurts is the only thing I can eat. What helps you to relieve the pain? How long does it last? Any help would be appreciated, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockers rule Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Never understand this type of question. A simple search on't internet 'll give results. NHS web sites good enough for a start. Always be aware not all the information you find may be correct. Some sites delight in putting the wind up readers or are blatant adverts for expensive treatments . Temporomandibular disorder - NHS (www.nhs.uk) Keep safe out there .

The internet can be a hypochondriac’s nightmare, as you remind us. I tend to use it to find alternatives to the norm, I found Health4All by opening an American add on this forum, I soon found the U.K. site and what I was looking for.

mattchu Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 It may be better to see the dentist. I had this for a couple of years from 2010 and initially had a mouth guard made by the dentist which I wore during the night. Eventually I was referred to the maxillofacial department at the Charles Clifford hospital, I was going there for approximately a year during which time Amitriptyline was prescribed as a muscle relaxer and to control the pain. It did settle down, though can come and go intermittently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Never look an illness up online. The information will be out of date, and makes some people suffer from panic attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some sites delight in putting the wind up readers or are blatant adverts for expensive treatments . Temporomandibular disorder - NHS (www.nhs.uk) Keep safe out there . NHS doesn't know everything. There may be tips and lived experiences out there that would help, that never made it onto the curriculum at medical school. I think first hand advice is always valuable so ask away on a website such as this and sometimes you find that the weirdest things can help. Even if it's only knowing that there are other people out there who have shared your pain, literally, and can empathise. Hope you find something that helps cherriepie.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks I have, though it wasn't as bad as yours sounds. Mine was constant clicking and pain in the joint. Word of advice, skip the docs... go straight to the dentist. I saw a specialist and got some jaw exercises to do, they worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
