Anyone have TMJ pain?

What medication has helped? Sometimes I have to skip going out because the jaw pain is so high. Now my tooth has been hurting from clenching as well. Might have to have an x ray soon if it doesn't get better to see if there's a crack😢 Any TMJ ideas for treatment welcome..

2 XS Tylenol and 2 Advil liqui-gels at the same time will ease the pain without the narcotic side effects. You need a nightguard to protect your joint while you sleep. When you sleep, you can put 2500 pounds of pressure on your teeth and the supporting bone and your TMJoint. If you have a sensitive tooth, you are likely muscle splinting to stay off of it. IF you are in the US , you can get an OTC boil and bite NG from the drug store (Dr's Night Guard) It fits on the upper . Cut off any excess sticking past your last teeth . Its not as thin as one your dentist can make , but it will get you off that cracked tooth at night until you can see him.

I've seen a study that says French styled kissing helps to alleviate the [pain and relax the muscles involved....

@Baybreeze maybe it would help align your jaw?

@GoFish Unfortunately I need to have an orthodontist make a splnt to do that, they are 6k ...just really outrageous but I'll need to.

@Baybreeze maybe get dental insurance?
