The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) connect your lower jaw to your skull. There are two matching joints -- one on each side of your head, located just in front of your ears. The abbreviation "TMJ" literally refers to the joint but is often used to refer to any disorders or symptoms of this region. Such problems include popping sounds in the jaw, inability to fully open the mouth, jaw pain, headaches, earaches, toothaches, and various other types of facial pain.

That's my understanding. This was the first time I had this much pain and actually figured out what it was. In the past, I have had tense jaw from clenching my jaw and teeth which leaves the jaw very sore like a muscle feels after being worked out. I never knew why my jaw was feeling tense every once in a while but now I think I have it figured out.Angel said:
I tried those exercises but it didnt feel right - it hurt too much. I did massage the joint area a lot but truly I think it just healed itself with time. Ive been looking into a mouthpiece for the night time at least, but I know I clench my teeth/jaw all day long too.wootool said:I just saw this - I was ummmm working on something
did you keep doing those excercizes I gave you, or it just went away by itself after awhile?

do you workout? I noticed when I was bulking and working heavy, and would really clench my jaw the symptoms would start up again. now I just use a thick mouthpiece when I work heavy and dont get the problem anymore.
just dont let the dentists sell you on surgery if it starts up again next time. You, me and everyone else I know who had these symptoms all basically had spontaineous remmissions. I think the whole TMJ thing is the dentists version of what "tonsillitus" was in the 60's and 70's (a manufactured income stream).

actually, it was originally Lumberg's idea. he thinks women with short stylish hair come across as more confident and sexy. definitely not the attitude of the typical male lol but to each his own.Angel said:
