I was in a similar situation...if you can get your PCP, Neuro, and any other drs. to call that this is an emergency, you might get in within a few weeks or months at the latest.

My Rhemie called a neuro and told him I couldn't wait a year...the neuro called and within two weeks I had an appointment. I also have TMJ, along with the rollar disc missing so that my jawbones are actually resting on each other. The pain is not daily thankfully, but I know just how bad it does get so I do hope you get relief.

I wore a splint 24 hrs a day for a year, then just at night for several years. I still have it, but no one here to adjust the thing. It really helped some, they told me I was fortunate that I don't have more pain. The doctor seemed to think part of the nerve is dead, I wouldn't agree to the testing for that...way too painful just the few tests they did complete.

Call your PCP ask if a lil ole push wouldn't help...
