My Story.
I was recently diagnosed with TMJ. I feel like im always in the Dr's office. I work in a job that i sit at the computer with a headset on answering phones all day. The constant moving of my mouth hurts so bad & by the end of the day I can't open my mouth very wide & I am in excruciating pain.I just don't have the drive to do anything anymore because i am in constant pain. I have tried all over the counter pain killers & even some physician samples, so far nothing has worked. I get headaches that last days (this one has lasted 5 days so far) & my temples pulse & my skull feels tight, i get piercing pains in my ears, my neck hurts so bad that my head feels like it weighs a ton sometimes & its hard to hold up, my shoulders hurt & most of all my jaw feels stiff and sore & hard to open alot of the time, anything that involves chewing is almost impossible. I hope I find some pain releif soon. Just trying to get the money right now to get my wisdom teeth out so I can get a mouth guard. I wake up every morning hoping the pain has died down & telling myself that today is going to be better.... I turns out to be the same, or worse. Its alot to handle, & i've been missing alot of work lately. I really hope I find something to help with the pain so I can get on with my normal life & go to work so I can pay my bills.
