TMJ Forum - Tomorrow I have a consultation with the oral surgeon!
Tomorrow I have a consultation with the oral surgeon! Posted: 08-14-07 13:15pm
Tomorrow I have a consultation with the
oral surgeon at the Oakland children’s
hospital. IM SO EXCITED! I’m not sure
what their going to say, hopefully they
say that they can help me. I’m a bit
anxious, but I know this is the next step
for me to take, I’ve been waiting so
long for this.
WISH ME GOOD LUCK!! I’ll let everyone
know what happened when I get back.

That's GREAT Victoria! I would suggest
that you write down some questions tonight
to take with you to ask him, and of
course, right now, I have a mind blank.
Explain everything in detail as much as
possible as to your symptoms and problems.
Examples - "sharp pain in ear," "jaw
popping when eating", headaches, neck
pain, etc. You get the idea. Write out
everything tonight so you don't get
flustered during the appointment like I
have before. List any medications you
currently take and the dosage, as well as
any previous meds that did not help. Hope
and expect that he will want to start out
"conservatively" even tho I hate that
word. See what his "plans' are to help
you (does he have a plan?)
You'll be in my prayers. God bless...

Don't think that Victoria. It sounds like
you might have hope. You will be blessed
if you only have popping and cracking to
live with for the rest of your life.
Function and pain should be your focus,
and I personally put pain in front of
function (but just barely). Relax now and
concentrate on the plan to get "better."
God bless...

Hey Posted: 08-16-07 12:18pm
that surgery is called arthroscopy. its
fairly simple and routine and nothing to
worry about. I firmly beleive that you
have a good chance of being"fixed". Let us
know when you have a date.
