Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ syndrome, is an acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the lower jaw to the skull. The disorder and resultant dysfunction can result in significant pain and impairment.
SO I got a stupid splint for my TMJ. After a few days I was use to wearing it and talking with it. It caused more pain that before I had it, but whatever. Then today I find out that they don't take medical assistance. When I first started going there I had insurance through my mom and then I got married. I took the stupid splint out cuz I can't pay for the treatment and now I'm in worse pain that ever!!! I hate this!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I hope you can get this resolved soon. Both of my discs are out from a dental procedure about 5 yrs ago. I will have to wear this guard the rest of my life now.
I will pray for your healing..
