Hello fellow tmj dysfunctionites.

I'm on my second splint therapy now. Not working. Not really problems with the muscles, but clicking on the left and nerve pain on the right. MRI confirmed disc displacement with reduction. no Locking.

So, here's my future considerations

Botox
Joint Lavage
Chiropractor

I know none of those are great, but I'm running out of options.

So far, I've spent $7k and growing. Doesn't really matter, though. I'm unable to work and unable to really talk without pain.

Please share your experiences!

ok botox and lavage dont really work. botox is only good for 3-5 months and then you have to go back and its really expensive. i have a suggestion for you it worked for me and ive done everything in the books.

do go to a chiropractor. you will be thankfull you did. splints only compress the joint and make things worse.

questions or finding a good doctor--just pm me im more than happy to help.
