#Tmj What Is It

[anthonycrowley]

it sucks sometimes when you have chronic pain in some way and you go online like is there anything i can do and the internet is like sure you can spend a whole bunch of money on a procedure to fix it so you’re like :/ but then ten years go by and it gets way worse so you’re like fine i really should fix that and then you do and your pain and all of your problems go away in like. a day.

I think as our society has become more sedentary and Fascia in everyone's body has become an issue that is causing back pain, shoulder pain, etc this list needs to be more out there.

Myofascial massage can do a LOT for pain management.

I have had people come to be after 10 years of going to doctors and within 1 appointment I helped their pain more than any doctor- not because I am more competent, but because I had the right tools to help.

Most TMJ issues, sciatica, carpal tunnel, plantar fasciitis, and more can be helped if not fixed with myofascial massage and it is generally cheaper to get regular massage than it is to continually go to the doctor for something that they are unequipped to handle.

The ONLY time those are issues that a doctor can handle better than a myofascial massage therapist is when there is a structural nerve impingement, such as your spine or hips pinching your sciatic nerve. Otherwise it is likely just your soft tissue restriction causing the pain.

And soft tissue restriction wont be helped with a pill or a surgery- and sometimes surgeries can actually make it WORSE.

So please- if you have a chronic pain disorder look for a Myofascial Massage Therapist in your area.

Also DRINK WATER. Dehydration makes connective tissue restriction worse!

Oh joyous day, day that @walternitram fully claims the role of midwife,

We shall begin our work soon.

@the-cal-zone is watching the crowd like a shark hawk, making sure they do not avert their gaze;

@walternitram provides cheeky moral support, a friendly face hiding the knowledge of what to come...

I will conduct the interview, feigning ignorance to what is occurring, but ultimately steering the conversation towards the ultimate next step (aka Eggst Step), where @the-muppet-joker will reveal his eggs to the crowd, and begin his joker rage, mupping them with his fanged hole in order to get blood and nutrients for his brood, like a demented horse fly, biting through the crowds hides as though they were nothing but unsuspecting equine.

might be just me being paranoid or a series of coincidences but it seems like the entire left side of my body is fucked up.

occipital neuralgia? almost exclusively runs up the left side of my head

left eye more nearsighted than right

TMJ seems like it might be worse on the left side (difficult to tell)

i have overarching neck and back pain, but left shoulder blade is more frequently in pain than right

left hip some sort of fucked up, probably related to my left L5 vertebrae being fused to my pelvis

all this to say, maybe i just tend to put more pressure on the left side of my body?? idk if one of these things instigated the rest or if it's all just happenstance, but it's fuckin weird and also im so tired of being in pain.

If we have severe jaw pain in the back of our jaw behind where our wisdom teeth would be in the bones do we see a dentist for that or ?? what. We've already been diagnosed with TMJ but the pain is getting worse and worse, popping it now just feels like we've pulled a muscle and continues to hurt after but we can't not pop it because then our jaw locks up and we can't talk.

[actualmichelle]

i made my dentist appointment 😩

[ricecaqes]

the new development is i lay down and theres a 40% chance that my jaw locks up

[muppetjokernumbertwofan]

Have you considered mating with the ants instead of killing them?

Absolutely not. I’d rather be fed leg-first through a wood chipper.

[maulsoleum]

yknow i love being a decaying dog i really do but satan below i would love it if just didn't hurt so bad.

like c'mon i'm already dead do i have to feel the way the fibrocartilaginous parts of my jaw snap as it rots off?

[kohakhearts]

not to be Hashtag serious about anything because that goes against my principles but this was the first year since i was 18 that i didn’t take antidepressants at all and the first time since i was 16 that i didn’t attend regular therapy (or at least Think i Needed to attend regular therapy) and yeah i wouldnt say i had a Good mental health year but. But. thats a big step for me actually and one i am very pleased with. go me
