Anyone have TMD/J here?

How do you treat your jaw muscle pain? Any tips? I try massage and ice but curious if theres any med or other treatment.

@Wyocowboy How long have you had the condition? Ive had it for years, and last year it led to a misaligned jaw...awful symptoms of vertigo for months. Im in PT now for it but i still get pain too sometimes 🥺 i need a new night guard once it aligns.

@Coralmist I have had it for years too. It sucks all the noise my jaw makes when i am eating. Lol

@Wyocowboy Try PT for it if you can, they do like an ultra massage on the whole area, and they tell me my disc, that makes the popping noise, will go back into alignment with our therapy.

@Coralmist I will do that. My jaw gets really fatigued too.

@Wyocowboy Luckily my insurance covered it for PT, whereas my work for my jaw at a chiropractor did not... 😞 So pricey. Hopefully your insurance will cover..its worth relief!

@Coralmist Yes, it will cover it. I will let you know how it goes.
