Does the pain sometimes make you really tired? Half my day today was wasted because of jaw and TMJ pain😢 Laid down two hours then was too tired to get things done, and the pain still lingered.
I do, but I have trigeminal neuralgia and migraines too which all set each other off. Moist heating pads help me with the neuralgia and tmj. I microwave them and it usually calms them.
@BaybreezeFor me it was from shingles on my jawline. I was weening off a med that I had never taken anything like before but used off label by dr and it shocked my system and the shingles caused the damage from being untreated b/c they had no idea what it was. I was in my 20’s and all they said was I was having stroke symptoms w/out even one risk factor for it 😒 My neuro diagnosed it when I saw him, but the nerve damage was already done.
@Baybreeze dental insurance is terrible, i pay a lot for coverage, it covers only a very small amount. you can search around for a boarded pain specialist, they may have some suggestions how to get some of the work covered.
