Hi! I've posted a few times and am so
grateful for any feedback. All my symptoms
point to tmj - see posts - but I have no
pain when sleeping. About an hour after
waking up and moving around, here they
come -I also now tend to push my jaw
around, massage, feel for the crepitus,
etc. I feel there's a strong muscle
component - from behin my ear lobe in that
little hollow down the front of my
neck.... things feel swollen, but I don't
think there's any real swelling. Also -are
there other reaons for midline deviation
and crepitus besides tmj. Some days are
good, others bad, and I have it on both
sides -- anyway, thanks for listening and
responding...

i dont have any pain lying down either. i
think that you would benefit from
neuromuscular dentistry--i think that you
should get in asap.

thanks - I'm going to start with a
chiropractor here in my town........ I
can't help but think this has a lot to do
with muscle, as there is no pain at rest,
and of there was something organic, there
would be pain all the time...thanks
again...

I am also usually able to sleep without
any pain - it does not wake me. Once I
find a comfortable position, and rest for
30-60 minutes, I can usually fall asleep.
Al thought it has been getting worse.
