Pain in the jaw

you need to see an oral surgeon asap...tmj is correctable if caught early (ex muscle relaxants, splints etc)

Well, the ache is gone today, but the stiffness is still there. I have seen an improvement since yesterday, so I'm going to see if things improve. If it's still bugging me next week, I'll make sure to go see a doctor (or dentist).

Hi,

Highly suggest that you seek specialized care from an expert in TMJ.

Where are you located and I'll see who might be close to you.

Regards,

Hunter

Thanks, I'm not really sure where to even find a TMJ doctor. I'm in the Prescott, AZ area.

Interesting that I came across this thread. A couple nights ago, I noticed that my jaw clicked a little when I moved it from side to side. I understand this is nothing really serious, since it's very common. For whatever reason though, I woke up the next morning with a very stiff jaw. It's still stiff as hell right now, but I can eat and talk fine and have full range of motion. It's not even pain really, just a bit of an ache.

Really annoying, though. Thank god it doesn't affect my flying any. Anyone have this?

my girlfriend has this, for real, im talkin to her on the phone right now she say quit bring a sissy and get over it, ololololololo
