Question: Question for people with TMJ disorder?
Sometimes, when I'm having one of my painful days (It's not painful all the time, only sometimes), my jawline swells slightly. Like, the lymph nodes in my jaw area, close to my ear swell. It's not very noticeable, but I can feel it, if that makes sense. I was just curious, is this normal for someone who suffers from TMJ Disorder, or should I be worried? Thanks!
Answers:
Don't worry, it's normal. There are some days when the pain will be worse than other days and some days you will have some swelling, however if it gets worse you may need to go see a specialist.
