I think I have TMJ!?!
Question: I think I have TMJ!!?
Ok!. I was told back in like March that I have a deformed jaw bone!. And my jaw has always made a sound when I opened it too wide or tried to close it too fast!. I just thought it was normal!. And when you put your finger on my temple and I open and close my mouth, you can feel a bump pop out and go back in!. But now, I can barely open my mouth!. I can only open it about 3/4 of an inch to an inch!. It's hindering my eating now!. This sudden severity has only been going on for about 3 days!.
Also, I know that the pain from TMJ may be felt in the ears, and I have had ear pain and a bit of hearing loss lately!.
Do you think I might have TMJ/what should I do!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

My dear everybody has a TMJ thats a tempero mandibular joint, what u have is a problem with the TMJ and a serious one at that!. Clicking and deviation on opening is actually quite common & as long as it is not associate with pain or tenderness or reduced mouth opening we only recommend regular check ups and not active treatment!.
What u describe is a classic TMJ dysfunction, do not waste any time go to a dentist immediately or better still to an Oral and maxillofacial surgeon!. If there is a University medical centre or a hospital I would advise that instead of a private practice!. Go now and hopefully it can be resolved with phsyiotherapy and pills!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It does sound like you have TMJ!. I have a few suggestions for you!. Avoid chewing things that put a lot of stress on your mouth, like gum!. Also, try massaging your jaw to help it loosen up!. Do you clench your teeth at all!? That can make it tighten up!. Also, advil can help with the pain!. I think you should see a doctor, though!.
