OT Doctors- TMJ Question
Posted on 8/20/19 at 1:22 pm
Posted on 8/20/19 at 1:22 pm
I was having a bit of pressure in my ear and I could not clear it. I went to my ENT (see thread about "divine intervention") and she verified that it was not wax and my pressure was fine in both ears.
She believes I have TMD, and that the inflammation is pushing on the ear and prescribed ibuprofen and robaxin to take nightly for two weeks to see if anything changes.
What I have noticed after a few days is the the joint on the side opposite of the ear issue is very sore and it feels like it is popping. My question is, could this be the effects of the muscle relaxing and going back to normal, or just pure coincidence?

everyone has TMJ... you mean TMD.
if it persists, see your dentist and/or an oral surgeon

That joint has been compensating for the f’d up side. Give it some time on the meds and it’ll get better.

>Insert fellatio joke here<

Besides the fellatio jokes, try not to chew gum or sleep on the affected side.
And lay off the fellatio.
And lay off the fellatio.

My wife's didn't get properly diagnosed until going to dentist who confirmed that she was clinching teeth when sleeping which was causing the tmj(d). They will make you a nighttime mouthpiece to prevent it, and your tmj(d) will disappear. Insurance categories and coding are shady.

I am seeing my dentist on Thursday.

I think this might be the case.
