#helps with jaw pain from TMJ jaw issues

[itwasntaphase]

Strange Sensations I crave:

1: taking my spine out and wringing it real good so it cracks every area and helps the pain (fuck scoliosis)

2: taking my eyes out and putting them into a glass of cold water (refreshing for dry eye)

3: Take my skin off and give it a very good scrubbing and moisturizing (no more itchy eczema)

4: taking my brain out and deep cleaning it then soaking it in an ice bath (I'm convinced this would cure my migraines)

5: Scratching behind my eyes (they are often itchy)

7: eating my many pica cravings without it causing issues (i.e. sand, foaming soap, decorative bar soap)

8: taking my muscles apart and soaking each one in a warm bath and then giving it a deep massage (bye bye achy body)

9: Pulling my sinuses out and rinsing them thoroughly (I think it would help my allergies)

10: removing my bottom jaw to give me a break from my TMJ for a while (self-explanatory)

Please reblog this and add yours so I know I'm not crazy in wanting these things. My therapist says these are symptoms from my OCD so that's fun.

I saw someone talk about this already but JRWI Wonderlust characters are all disabled and this is my take on them. (Aka I’m projecting on some of them hardcore.)

Vague ep 1 spoilers below

Troy: Massive headaches and jaw pain. He had TMJ before and the branch to the head made it SO much worse. The force of the blow literally displaced his jaw, opening the door for constant pain and locking. Constant talking and chewing exacerbates the issue, to the point where his jaw locks open. This was something new he’d never experienced until the injury, and it scared the shit out him. He has long term memory issues from his various concussions too!

He’s also autistic but like, we’ve been knew about that.

Runt: Hypermobile 1000%! Her knee braces remind me of my own brace for my dislocated kneecap mixed with another kind of brace whose name I can’t remember atm. Her tibias are bowed so the braces are supposed to help with that.

Asthma as well!! I haven’t see a better depiction, whether intentional or not, of asthma as a long time sufferer.

Blink: He also has asthma, but manages it with an inhaler of sorts that he gets from the apothecary. (It’s part of his payment at this point.) He’s got a slight astigmatism in both eyes that causes constant headaches from strain. Where most people with the same problem’s eyes go in, his go out, making it harder to correct without glasses. Also has joint issues like Runt, but doesn’t have the hypermobility, just the aches and pains.

My mom fills socks with rice and heats them up in the microwave.

Needs someone else to do that part but it’s really nice like a hot water bottle but different.

You can also buy pre-made things that have similar functionality that might be easier to use that are either weighted or unweighted.

Small electric heating pad is lovely has buttons I can turn on and off on my own and the size is maybe 1 square foot easier to use. My partner and I each have one in different colors.

Also a fan of those things that go in the freezer like ice packs but they have oorbeez like gel balls inside fun to squish and temperature sensation is fun but you have to be careful with it.

One of my legs and some other parts of my body can’t feel temperature much because of nerve damage etc and i can get hurt if not careful when using so it’s important to be able to push it off onto floor when done with ice pack like item or turn it off if using electric item.

My partner also bought me a vibrating chewy stim toy meant for oral desensitizing because I have sensory issues brushing teeth throw up sometimes because my gag reflex, it might be made by ark therapeutic maybe and I like chewing on it. I have jaw issues like TMJ so I have to be careful not to hurt myself but I often chew through soft rated toys and get pain from hard ones so I like that this toy has a swappable top so I can keep switching on new soft ones to use with the same vibrating base.

When I was little maybe elementary school I did occupational therapy but don’t remember much of it. Do remember being brushed and going into a stretchy sack. Hope that helps.

This is all really helpful thank you!

Man I'm having so many frustrating thoughts about my jaw lately and I want to SCREAM!!!

Like ah, here is a long fucking rant.

Over a decade ago, pretty much overnight, my quality of life did a 180 with a host of symptoms starting up. Tinnitus, visual snow, pattern glare, light sensitivity, ocular migraines, an increase in headaches, some vertigo, brain fog, and just this like complete inability to focus my eyes like I used to be able to.

I've always been really sensitive to stimuli, but ever since this happened it's been cranked up to 100. I get disoriented extremely easily, with really no good way to avoid it. Like if the lighting changes in my room, I get disoriented and feel exhausted. If I go somewhere with fluorescent lights and walk around, I get exhausted. If I look at repetitive patterns I get fucking exhausted and confused and I hate it.

I kind of snapped honestly. And I let my anxiety take over my life. I convinced myself I had a tumor in my head or something, and I was so scared to look into it that when I got an MRI order for a brain scan I just ignored it.

And I just kind of lived like that for a long time, constantly worried there was something fucked up in my head that I was ignoring.

And I know that's a shit way to deal with concerning health problems, but I was scared, and I have OCD and it was just sort of a Mess. And arguably still am.

I've been trying to figure things out now, finally getting over my anxiety. I got that brain scan-- nothing. Didn't realize how much anxiety that was giving me, for a decade, until I did it.

But I still didn't have Answers for why I feel like shit all the time. I literally just spend most of my time on a computer, and have for years, because looking at a stationary screen is a lot easier for my shit focusless vision to handle-- and even then, I STILL wind up exhausted and confused if I have too much stimuli on a page. (And I'm sure the eye strain from the computer doesn't help in ways, but I cannot stress enough that being on the computer is like the only thing that keeps me sane and focused)

But the thing is, at the start of all of this I was having jaw issues. Like really severe jaw popping on my right side and a lot of pain. And I did look into my jaw Years ago, and found out through an MRI (of the jaw, not the brain, so it didn't scare me to get at the time), that the right condyle of my jaw is literally deformed. Like your condyle is supposed to be rounded at the top, but my right condyle is shaped like a lopsided heart, and it's surrounded by scar tissue.

And at the time I like was given a jaw splint to sleep with and told I'd probably need surgery to correct it, but the pain was bearable so I never looked into surgery. And I've just sort of lived with the constant jaw ache since then since I figured it was just a bum jaw and I could handle it so it wasn't worth looking into more.

And now I'm actually doing research on all of the havoc that TMJ can cause. And I'm just kind of feeling like something of an idiot, because it looks like I had my answer a decade ago and I ignored it. And now I'm just a miserable 30 year old who's struggling to just be a person because I can't focus, and I'm in pain, and I'm tired and confused and at this point I can only assume my deformed jaw I've ignored for years is the root of it.

And now I've gotta like get in contact with my dentist to ask about those old MRIs I had, and I gotta figure out going to a TMJ specialist through my current insurance and just--

Ugh.

I'm so frustrated. I'm so tired. And I feel like I've wasted so much time and I've been trying so hard to do better and get better but it's a fucking mess.

And like my family is expecting me to snap out of the funk I'm in and be a functional person since that brain MRI o had came out clean, and it's just like-- I still feel like shit all the time??

Nevermind when my family says my screen time causes all of this, when I literally started having heavy screen time BECAUSE of these symptoms that made it difficult to enjoy anything outside of a flat screen

The Role of Physiotherapy in TMJ Disorder

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can cause significant pain and discomfort in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. While there are various treatment options available, physiotherapy has emerged as a valuable approach to managing TMJ disorders. In Pune, individuals dealing with TMJ issues can find relief and support from qualified physiotherapists who specialize in treating this condition.

Understanding TMJ Disorder:

TMJ disorder refers to a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. Symptoms may include jaw pain, difficulty chewing or opening the mouth, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and facial discomfort. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in addressing these symptoms by focusing on pain reduction, improving jaw function, and promoting overall well-being.

The Role of Physiotherapy:

Physiotherapy offers a holistic and non-invasive approach to treating TMJ disorder. A physiotherapist in Pune will begin by conducting a comprehensive evaluation to understand the underlying causes and assess the severity of your condition. They will then develop a personalized treatment plan to address your specific needs.

Treatment Techniques:

Physiotherapy for TMJ disorder utilizes various techniques that aim to reduce pain, improve jaw mobility, and restore normal function. These may include:

1. Jaw exercises: The physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles around the jaw joint, promoting improved jaw movement and reducing muscle tension.

2. Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques, such as joint mobilization and soft tissue manipulation, can help increase joint mobility, alleviate pain, and release muscle tension.

3. Heat or cold therapy: The application of heat or cold packs to the jaw area can reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle spasm.

4. Ultrasound therapy: Ultrasound waves can penetrate deep into the tissues, promoting healing, improving blood flow, and reducing pain and inflammation.

5. Electrical stimulation: Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) involves the use of low-level electrical currents to relieve pain and relax muscles.

6. Posture correction: Correcting poor posture can alleviate strain on the jaw joint. Physiotherapists in Pune can provide guidance on proper head and neck alignment and ergonomic modifications.

7. Education and self-care: Physiotherapists will educate you about proper jaw mechanics, relaxation techniques, and self-care strategies, empowering you to manage your TMJ symptoms effectively.

Finding Relief:

If you're experiencing TMJ disorder, seeking the expertise of a qualified physiotherapist is essential. Look for physiotherapy clinics or practitioners who specialize in TMJ disorders. They will have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, helping you find relief and regain a pain-free quality of life.

when i was being evaluated for braces for a second time after being rejected by insurance, the orthodontist and hygienist examined my dental scans and there was a lot of 'well this (small issue) potentially COULD become (bigger issue) down the line, think we better play it safe and mark that down for the insurance company'.

(for reference, a previous ortho documented everything as it was, and while my teeth were crooked enough to *need* braces - I saw a chiropractor for tmj treatment because my jaw was wrecked from not being able to close my bite - they weren't bad enough to *qualify* for insurance and we couldn't afford to pay out of pocket. With my second ortho's help I qualified, and now I can actually like. Chew my food and stuff without unbearable pain.)

Here is a skill that many of us are going to need for survival: how to tell if someone is offering to let you lie.

The tip-off phrase is "If [circumstance] was true, then we/I could do [helpful thing.]" This is not a guarantee that the person is offering, but it should tell you "I am being informed of a way to improve things."

Your confirmation phrase is "What documentation would that require?" This is essentially asking them "if people come asking me to prove this, will I be able to? Or will they not come at all?"

The answer you are hoping for with the confirmation phrase is "Just tell me if it's true, and I'll put it on the form." Note that this is not a direct instruction to lie, because they can't tell you that.

If they didn't mean to extend an offer to lie or this is a situation where they can't, then they'll list off something like your paystubs or your birth certificate. Your response back in that case is "Thanks, I'll tell my friends who qualify." This clears you of any concerns that you may have been considering lying.

The more complex answer is when they answer by giving you a form on the spot. Your job, in this case, is to scan the form and see if what they are asking you can be meaningfully verified by an official source.

Things that can be verified by an official source include, but are not limited to, your age, legal sex, income, veteran status, and place of residence. It's not generally a good idea to lie about these on official documents.

Be smart, and be practical. Do what you need to in order to stay alive, and keep an ear out for the people offering to help you do so.

Why Oral Dental Surgeons Are Essential for Your Long-Term Dental Health

When it comes to maintaining good oral health, most people think of regular cleanings, fillings, and perhaps the occasional root canal. But there are certain dental procedures that go beyond the capabilities of a general dentist. This is where oral dental surgeons come in.

Oral dental surgeons are specialists trained to perform complex surgical procedures involving the mouth, teeth, jaws, and facial structures. These professionals have extensive education and training beyond dental school, often completing additional years of surgical residency. Their expertise allows them to handle cases that are too complex for general dentists, including wisdom tooth extractions, dental implants, jaw surgeries, and even treatment for facial trauma.

When Do You Need an Oral Dental Surgeon?

Many dental conditions require more than just routine care. For example, if you have impacted wisdom teeth that are causing pain or alignment issues, an oral surgeon can remove them safely and efficiently. Similarly, if you’ve experienced a facial injury due to an accident, an oral surgeon is qualified to perform reconstructive procedures to restore both function and appearance.

Other situations where oral dental surgeons are necessary include:

Dental implant placement

Biopsies and removal of oral tumors

Corrective jaw surgery for alignment or growth issues

Treatment of sleep apnea that doesn't respond to non-surgical methods

TMJ disorders requiring surgical intervention

The Gentle Dental Family Care Difference

At Gentle Dental Family Care, we pride ourselves on offering top-tier oral surgery services provided by skilled oral dental surgeons. Our team combines advanced technology with compassionate care to ensure every patient feels informed and comfortable throughout their procedure.

We understand that oral surgery can feel intimidating. That’s why we prioritize patient education and communication from the initial consultation to post-operative care. Whether you're considering dental implants or need corrective jaw surgery, our specialists will guide you through every step of the process.

Benefits of Choosing a Specialist

Choosing a trained oral surgeon over a general dentist for surgical procedures ensures a higher level of precision, safety, and success. Because oral dental surgeons are uniquely equipped with surgical expertise and hospital-based training, they are prepared to manage complications and deliver optimal results even in the most challenging cases.

Additionally, many patients require sedation or anesthesia during oral surgery, and oral surgeons are qualified to administer these safely. This not only reduces discomfort but also helps alleviate anxiety for patients who may be nervous about undergoing a surgical procedure.

Take the Next Step Toward Better Oral Health

If you’ve been referred for oral surgery or believe you may need specialized care, it’s important to choose a trusted provider with the experience to deliver exceptional results. The oral dental surgeons at Gentle Dental Family Care are here to help restore your health, comfort, and confidence.

Schedule a consultation today and take the first step toward expert care and a healthier smile.

TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions: Comprehensive Sleeping Disorder Treatment in New Orleans

Sleep disorders can significantly impact an individual's quality of life, leading to chronic fatigue, irritability, and even serious health complications. Many people suffering from sleep-related issues may not realize that their symptoms are linked to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and related dental concerns. TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions is a premier provider of Sleeping Disorder Treatment New Orleans, offering specialized care to patients struggling with conditions such as sleep apnea, snoring, and TMJ-related sleep disturbances.

In this article, we will explore the causes of sleep disorders, the link between TMJ and sleep problems, and how TMJ Sleep Solutions in New Orleans can help individuals achieve better sleep and improved overall health.

Understanding Sleep Disorders and Their Impact

Sleep disorders are conditions that affect the ability to get quality rest, leading to daytime fatigue, cognitive impairment, and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression. Some of the most common sleep disorders include:

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): A condition where the airway becomes blocked during sleep, causing interruptions in breathing.

Insomnia: Difficulty falling or staying asleep.

Snoring: While often dismissed as a minor annoyance, chronic snoring can be a sign of more serious underlying conditions.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): An urge to move the legs, which can disrupt sleep patterns.

While some of these disorders are linked to neurological or respiratory conditions, others are closely connected to the temporomandibular joint and dental health.

The Connection Between TMJ and Sleep Disorders

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is responsible for jaw movement and plays a crucial role in chewing, speaking, and even breathing. When the TMJ is misaligned or dysfunctional, it can lead to a variety of issues, including pain, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, and even sleep disturbances.

Here’s how TMJ disorders contribute to sleep problems:

Airway Obstruction: A misaligned jaw can push the tongue backward, restricting airflow and leading to conditions like sleep apnea.

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Many individuals with TMJ disorder grind their teeth at night, leading to headaches, jaw pain, and disrupted sleep.

Chronic Pain: TMJ disorders can cause facial and neck pain that makes it difficult to fall and stay asleep.

Tension and Stress: The discomfort caused by TMJ dysfunction can increase stress and anxiety, which in turn makes relaxation and restful sleep more challenging.

Fortunately, TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions specializes in addressing these issues with TMJ Sleep Solutions in New Orleans, offering advanced treatments to improve sleep quality and overall well-being.

Effective Sleeping Disorder Treatments in New Orleans

At TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions, expert dental professionals provide comprehensive care to address both TMJ disorders and sleep-related concerns. Some of the most effective treatments offered include:

1. Oral Appliance Therapy

One of the most common and effective solutions for sleeping disorder treatment in New Orleans is oral appliance therapy. These custom-made devices help reposition the jaw and tongue to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing snoring and symptoms of sleep apnea. Unlike CPAP machines, oral appliances are comfortable, portable, and easy to use.

2. TMJ Therapy and Bite Adjustment

For patients suffering from TMJ-related sleep problems, bite correction treatments and physical therapy can help alleviate symptoms. Adjusting the bite alignment ensures that the jaw functions properly, reducing strain and preventing airway obstruction.

3. Lifestyle Modifications

Experts at TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions work closely with patients to recommend lifestyle changes that can improve sleep quality. These may include:

Weight management, as obesity increases the risk of sleep apnea.

Avoiding alcohol and sedatives before bedtime.

Sleeping in a side position to prevent airway blockage.

4. Myofunctional Therapy

This type of therapy focuses on strengthening the muscles of the tongue, throat, and face to improve breathing and reduce the risk of airway collapse during sleep.

5. Botox for TMJ Pain Relief

Botox injections are used to relax overactive jaw muscles, relieving tension and reducing nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism), which can contribute to poor sleep quality.

6. CPAP Alternatives for Sleep Apnea

Many patients struggle with CPAP therapy due to discomfort. TMJ Sleep Solutions New Orleans provides alternative treatments, such as mandibular advancement devices (MADs), which are more comfortable and just as effective for many cases of mild to moderate sleep apnea.

Why Choose TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions?

There are many providers of sleeping disorder treatment in New Orleans, but TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions stands out for its specialized focus on the link between dental health and sleep quality. Patients choose this clinic because:

They offer customized, non-invasive solutions tailored to each individual's needs.

The team consists of highly trained dental sleep specialists with extensive experience in treating TMJ disorders and sleep apnea.

Their treatment approach prioritizes patient comfort, long-term effectiveness, and holistic well-being.

They use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose and treat sleep disorders efficiently.

The Importance of Seeking Treatment for Sleep Disorders

Ignoring sleep-related problems can lead to severe long-term health consequences, including:

High blood pressure and heart disease

Increased risk of stroke

Weight gain and metabolic disorders

Impaired cognitive function and memory loss

Decreased immune function

Seeking sleeping disorder treatment in New Orleans at TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions can help patients regain control over their health, improve their quality of life, and enjoy restful, uninterrupted sleep.

Conclusion

Sleep is a fundamental pillar of overall health, and untreated sleep disorders can have lasting negative effects on the body and mind. If you suffer from snoring, sleep apnea, or TMJ-related sleep disturbances, TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions offers TMJ Sleep Solutions in New Orleans that can help restore your sleep and well-being.

By using advanced oral appliance therapy, bite correction techniques, and personalized treatment plans, the specialists at TMJ and Dental Sleep Solutions provide patients with effective, non-invasive solutions for better sleep.

Understanding Jaw Pain and TMJ Issues: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Pain and discomfort in your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and jaw can rapidly impact your quality of life. The intricate joint linking your jawbone to your skull is used for speaking, chewing, and facial movement. When your TMJ is not functioning, it can result in a condition referred to as TMJ disorder (TMD). At The Dental Cure, we specialize in early detection and effective treatment to regain comfort and function.

What is TMJ, and Why Does It Hurt?

The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is a sliding hinge that connects your jawbone and skull. When the covering muscles or joints get displaced, strained, or inflamed, it may result in chronic jaw pain.

The usual causes of TMJ problems are:

Trauma or injury to the jaw

Teeth grinding (bruxism)

Arthritis

Stress clenching

Poor bite

Dislocation of the disc in the joint

TMJ disorders are typically multifactorial in etiology, and individual cause can only be established through professional assessment.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorders

Symptoms of TMJ disorder can vary from mild pain to incapacitating pain. Early symptoms are usually overlooked or mistaken for some other dental or auditory ailment.

Symptoms are:

Ache or sensitivity in the jaw joint

Clicking, popping, or grinding on opening or closing of the mouth

Restriction of jaw motion or jaw locking

Pain in the region around the ears, neck, or shoulders

Headache or facial discomfort

Trouble chewing or change in bite

If any of these symptoms are ongoing, it is important to go see a dental professional.

Diagnosing TMJ Disorders at The Dental Cure

At The Dental Cure, our experienced dental staff diagnoses TMJ disorders with physical exams and advanced imaging. This may include evaluating the range of motion of your jaw, auscultation to detect catching or clicking of the joint, and the use of X-rays or 3D images to see the joint well.

Prompt detection is essential to stop the advancement of the condition and to obtain a personalized treatment plan designed especially for you.

Treatment of TMJ Disorders and Jaw Pain

TMJ disorders can be treated in the majority of cases by non-surgical and conservative therapy. Patient-specific treatment and individualized treatment protocols are adopted by us at The Dental Cure.

Treatment includes:

Nightguards or oral splints for grinding relief and jaw pressure

Physical therapy and exercises for the jaw for increased mobility and reduced stiffness

Adjustment of diet, posture improvement, and stress management

Muscle relaxation or anti-inflammatory drugs

Specialized intervention such as injection of Botox or referring the patient to be operated upon in extreme cases

We individually treat every patient to decide the best method to relief and recovery.

Relieving Jaw Pain and Restoring Smiles: Visit a TMD Clinic in Kukatpally for Expert Care

Living in a busy location such as Kukatpally, Hyderabad has numerous advantages — great infrastructure, proximity to high-quality medical facilities, and access to specialized healthcare services. If you've been quietly enduring recurring jaw pain, headaches, or chewing difficulties, you may be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). The good news is that there are skilled TMD Clinics in Kukatpally that provide thorough care customized to your requirements.

In this blog, we’ll explore how a visit to a TMD Clinic can significantly improve your quality of life, what to expect from Tooth Removal procedures when necessary, and how the expertise of a TMJ Specialist can bring lasting relief.

Understanding TMD: When Jaw Pain Becomes a Daily Struggle

TMD is a collection of conditions that lead to pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that govern jaw movement. Some of the common symptoms are:

Clicking or popping of the mouth when opening or closing it

Chronic pain or soreness in the jaw

Frequent earaches or headaches

Trouble chewing or biting

Locking of the jaw in an open or closed position

For people living in Kukatpally and surrounding areas of Hyderabad, not attending to these symptoms can result in increasing discomfort. That's why help should be taken from a quality TMD Clinic before the condition aggravates.

Whether you’re dealing with mild discomfort or severe jaw dysfunction, these clinics offer customized treatment plans that address the root cause of your issue.

Tooth Removal and Its Role in TMD Management

Occasionally, Tooth Extraction is a required part of TMD treatment. Impacted or crooked teeth may put the jaw joint under excessive strain and worsen TMD symptoms. In these situations, a well-planned removal relieves tension and balances out the jaw.

The procedure for tooth removal is conducted using local anesthesia, and all Kukatpally clinics follow strict sterilization standards to guarantee a painless, safe process. Dentists after the removal recommend subsequent treatment in the form of orthodontics or prosthetic procedures to preserve bite function.

Meet Your TMJ Specialist in Kukatpally: The Key to Targeted Relief

Selecting a qualified TMJ Specialist in Kukatpally can be the difference-maker on your road to recovery. These specialists work solely on temporomandibular joint disorders and possess advanced education in facial anatomy, dental occlusion, and neuromuscular dentistry.

Carry out a thorough analysis of your bite, teeth, and jaw

Headache started before I left work yesterday. Woke up with one of the worst migraines I’ve had in months (Jamie says “proof that stress will fuck you up”) and couldn’t even expend enough energy to be mad at myself for missing work.

Weirdly, I like my job and my immediate coworkers. We’re weird and fun and highly inappropriate but we get our work done.

Migraine has gone down to manageable level and Jamie came home with new pillows in hopes that it would help (part of migraine came from the neck/shoulder spasms because yay cerviogenic headaches are stupid annoying)

But, I can see through both eyes, instead of just the one this morning. Left eye still watering which tells me pain is still there but at that “I can ignore this” level, but my sinuses don’t feel like they’re about to explode nor my top…mandible (is it mandible? It’s a word…upper jaw, not the lower jaw where you get tmj disorder/issue, but like where the back molars are) Well, whatever it’s called, that spot between where the top molars live and the sinus cavity begins doesn’t feel like it’s about to start a rebellion.

I forgot where I was going with this.

Anyways, yes. Less pain. Back and forth with heating pad and ice pack has helped. Sleep is the best form of action and that’s what I’m going back to do because while I am thrilled to be able to read a couple chapters of stuff, I don’t want this flaring back up.
