Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 I had horrible horrible TMJ pain for years and nothing helped. I had the thing made by my dentist who worked hard to get it paid for by the insurance company but I still owed quite a little chunk of change. Today I am painfree....of Tmj pain anyway. When I started being treated with narcotics,,, first the duragesic patch and then oxycontin and also started with presurgery treatment for my neck (the wearing of the soft collar 24/7), my TMJ pain TOTALLY disappeared!! I was getting lots of soft tissue work done for that and for my headaches and neck pain. Don't ask me how to explain it all but it is true. I was one whose jaw would dislocate too and it hasn't for a while but I am verrrrrrrryy careful. I was desparate at the time. I would have done anything they suggested. Anyway,,just something to think about or to confuse you more!! Not sure which!!! Hope you find some relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
