Elliott

I have been diagnosed and suffering from TMJ disorder for six years. As a child and young adult I was active and healthy, however in 2000 I was in a motor vehicle accident in which I suffered a dislocated TM joint. I have never been the same since this accident. I have undergone physical therapy, medications, and MRI exams. I have experienced severe headaches from top of the head right to the bottom of the skull, eye pain, jaw pain, and ear pain. I have also noticed my vision has deteriorated. I have not been able to work due to this and am always on lookout for new surgical procedures to put the disc back into normal position. I tell all of you with TMJ problems, even those not as serious as mine, to do research and educate yourself first, then others – such as family & friends. Take care all!
