HI HayleyJ,
Glad to hear that you have gotten the referral to the OS.
A word of caution....... before doing any injections in the ligament or TMJ area, try the orthodic appliance first. Sometimes the worse thing to do is inject into a tight ligament. Besides that, the injections are usually some type of steroid or some other toxic medication. If you can get relief without doing the injection, all the better!!
Please continue to let us know how you are doing!

The joint is slightly displacing, and he believes that perhaps it is intermittently mildly dislocating - similar to my shoulders (loose ligaments I expect?).
I will pick up my referral today and hopefully I will be in with the surgeon in no time at all!
