TMJ pain

[neosapien]

Pretty sure I tried to fit too many dicks in my mouth and now for the last 2-3 days I've had what is best described as "TMJ pain". Or disorder. When my mouth is relaxed I feel almost nothing. Slight pressure. But when I try to open my mouth wider than an inch I feel pain or more aptly a severe stretching in the upper area of my right jaw by my ear. Almost as if something will break if I open much wider. It's progressively gotten worse. I can't really eat anything that requires hard chewing as of today. Macaroni and potatoes worked out ok for dinner but the steak was a no go. I'm just worried this will be a permanent impairment, a part of getting old. And worried my dick sucking days are over.

Sounds like a mild joint inflamation, easily treatable.


Have you had your prostate checked lately? I think they may be linked according to my acupuncture map.

Or do I have it upside down? It's hard to read Chinese.

Lockjaw. Put the straw down and back awayyyy from the plate.

So it's even worse today. I made an appointment with my dentist for 1:45. I hate the dentist. Not my dentist personally. He is actually really nice and non judgemental but nevertheless I hate the dentist.

Damn that sucks bro. At least your getting it checked out quick. Just don't let the dentist check out your prostate. Well, I'm not gonna tell you what to do. Just a suggestion.

Good, let us know.

I wonder if he'll take an xray?

And make sure he's paying attention, he has a root canal at 2:00.

You're on a first name basis with him, right? If he starts loading needles, point out you're the 1:45 TMJ soreness.

Or tell him you'd rather have gas and then point out you're the 1:45.

Good Luck. You'll be fine by Friday.

Yup TMJ= too much Johnson

Well the dentist x-rays revealed that there's nothing wrong with my teeth and he thinks I just injured the joint somehow. He said to go buy mouth guards for sleep and to eat a strict soft foods diet for the next several days. And to call him if I don't see improvement by Friday. He did say my dick sucking days are over for now though. I can't open my mouth wide enough anyhow right now.

If my teeth were fucked up, I was like 99% sure I was just going to get a grill.

I wore a TMJ Occlusal Splint for near 5 years.
At times I could not open my mouth enough to fit a teaspoon in.



When at the dentist they use bite blocks because the muscle gives out and I can not keep my mouth open for the entire procedure.

It's not uncommon to see a bit of trismus from sleep bruxation. But nah wife and kiddo coming home wouldn't increase stress, NOT AT FUCKING ALL!! LOL

The only base he didn't cover is to gently move your lower jaw from side to side a few times during the day to loosen it up and work it out.

A grill?

I'd go for the 1959 Buick look.

My wife had it for six months or better. She did the mouth guards and all that. But nothing worked until she tried acupuncture. After the 2nd or 3rd session with the needles, the pain went away. That was 15-20 years ago. No pain since.

Good luck.

 

[neosapien]

So I just went and made the mouth guards. They kind of feel really fucking uncomfortable and make my jaw feel worse I think. Is that normal at first?

 

[neosapien]

The warm compresses do provide some relief though. As does really long hot showers. But when do they don't! Amirite!?

Day 5 of not sucking dicks. It is sucking dicks. I can maybe, maybe open my jaw alittle wider but it is still just as sore. At some point throughout the night I took that mouthguard out apparently. Don't think I can do it. It was hella uncomfortable and awkward. Been living off of soups and mashed potatoes the last 2 days. Thats getting old real quick. What else is soft that I can consume?

Ice cream

PS I'm assuming you have a heat and bite plastic splint? Try reheating and resetting it. If that doesn't work call the dentist and have him set the splint for you in a more comfortable position since you have muscle spasm working against you.
