    • Close TMJ

      When I first found out I had TMJ I had been having head aches for over a week. I went to the ER and they did a CT scan, it came out normal. Two days after that, while I was kissing my boyfriend, my jaw popped really loud....twice! it was so loud that he totally heard it too. Then it hurt really bad. At that time I looked up "popping jaw" on the internet and found out that i could have TMJ. And that the head aches are totally related to it. It was nice to find out what was causing the head aches.
