Hey there guys!
Here is my horror story. Just wanted some advice/support/similar stories.

So I had 6 (yes 6) fillings done 12/15 after 8 blissful years of dental visits without problems. I missed the dentist for 2 years and that's what happened.

I had been diagnosed with TMJ approx. 10 years ago after my wisdom teeth were surgically removed and that was horrid. ER / ENT / DENTIST.

I have had a pretty calm condition up until now - every once and a while my jaw would ache and id take it easy and it would be fine.

So building up over the last 3 months of having a really uncomfortable time with my bite and these fillings I thought I had many medical conditions. I presented with muscle twitching, neck and shoulder pain and other weird symtoms. Had brain MRI and tons of blood work - no MS no other nervous order conditions.

Okay last month in addition - starts next months HORRID sore tight throat. went to the doctor for 3 weeks "you must have a virus" nope. BLOOD TESTS - neg.
Last straw: ER visit "My throat is closing my jaw hurts I feel like I swallowed razer blades" CT-SCAN OF NECK - clear. tested for mono virus clear. UGH - Started to think it may be my jaw after 6 weeks of suffering and no diagnosis. - Saw ENT - Who scoped my throat as well as checked my ears and nose - ok so he asks "do you have jaw problems" "YES, TMJ" Ent lets me know that TMJ when it gets bad or bite is way off can affect the muscles in your neck and throat make phantom sore throats and choking/lump in your throat. I told the ENT I had a CT-Scan as he scoped me and told me how healthy it looked and that my jaw was not right and it was clicking.

Finally last week - last ditch effort. Call my dentist who was nice enough to speak with me for 20 minutes on the phone about all of my weird symptoms eyelid twitching other twitching sore tight throat sore tongue jaw clicking, couldn't yawn anymore. She said "you have to come in tomorrow, and about 4 more times in the next 3 weeks we have to fix your bite"

here we are - I went to the dentist 4 days ago - she confirmed my bite was so off my jaw was slipped to the left and my visit to the chiropractor probably made it worse 4 weeks ago. She spent 2 hours with me in between her other pts. she had to put a stick in my mouth for 20 minutes to deactivate my clenching muscles - she said she will need to keep adjusting my bite but she did some work so I could wear my tmj guard again= she also put my on motrin during the day and flexerol muscle relaxer at night. I am trying to wear bite splint 24/7. I have had some small improvement leading me to hope I finally have the correct diagnosis after almost 2 months of pain now. the dentist said she is confident she can fix this it just wont be over night, my muscles have been out of balance for a while and putting pressure on my joint and nerves. I have been scaned and cleared medically and so im hoping this will be the answer.
