TMJ Anyone have a solution !!!???

[haz123]

so about 1.5 years ago, i went to a chiropractor who adjusted me and saw the need to pop my jaw, which hadnt given me any issues. . . well, two week later i was chewing gum and pop ! my jaw poped out of place, it was extremely uncomfortable and painful but bearable. . . since then my jaw pops and every morning i wake up i open my jaw to get that sucker mobile again. . .

so my question is, does anyone have understanding or history with "TMJ" and do you have a solution to get this sucker greasy again?

thx

Why the hell would the chiropractor feel the need to pop your jaw? Apparently to keep you coming back to get it adjusted I guess. Fuck that, no one touches my jaw...they can adjust my back all day though.

Did he/she state why they needed to adjust your jaw? Never heard of that.

You should go back and 'pop' his jaw.

the chiropractor was a woman, and it was like wow! you could pop that too. . .felt fine until 2 weeks later. . . you think i should pop her jaw puddle monkey? lol
so i went to a different chiropractor bc i didnt want to go back to her and i thought he would def pop my jaw back, and he had no idea how to !!!!

Its probably more prone to popping out of place now. I would have told her she's out of her mind. Def have a lawsuit case.

i had TMJ a few years back for some months. it was nearly unbearable. but it just kinda went away. I did get a nighttime mouth guard custome made by my dentist (i apparently clench my jaw and grind my teeth) that i do not use.

Yeah I have TMJ, I also grind my teeth, bite cheeks, my jaw clicks, the whole deal.
Number One Rule: I never chew gum, it makes it much worse.
Stress makes it worse, I have to consciously relax my jaws.
I have had to get a clear filler in my molars due to the ridges from the clenching and grinding.
I'd call that chiro back and ask him to refer you to a medical professional that specializes in TMJ.
My jaw has never popped out, but that sounds serious to me.
