One morning I woke up with muscular TMJ. My joint was not an issue but my muscle was hurting so badly. I thought it was a tooth and went to dentists. They said "yep, tmj, see a specialist." So I did and it was going to cost 3-4 grand to fix my mouth. I ended up going to a chiropractor who specialized with TMJ and he was able to work with and through the muscle problem. As well as handle the neck pain along with it, and the headache also caused by it.

Hugs. I find that because of my RSD, it is acting up because I clench my jaw more from the pain. So I use what the chiro gave me and I put a finger on my cheek, find the spot where the top and bottom meet, and rub small circles in that area. AND you need to push, almost like deep tissue in the joint area.

Let me know if you have any questions.
