Jacob

Several years ago I noticed that whenever I had dental work done my jaw would hurt for a week. About a year ago my jaw started to ache all the time. My doctor referred me to a “TMJ Specialist” who made a night splint for a mere $1400 but couldn’t determine that I had anything wrong with me. This is not in my head, there is something definitely wrong! I have experienced a certain degree of relief through massage of my face and neck and relaxation exercises although in the past few weeks it has gotten worse with limitations in my jaw movement.

I realize that my case at this point is relatively mild and sympathize with anyone who has experienced anything like this. Also, I’m ecstatic to find this Web site as I feel the most reliable road to health management and recovery starts with self education. We cannot rely on modern medicine to do it all for us.
