Hi Susan,
For about a week now, everytime i open my mouth more than to speak or to sip a straw (ie: yawn, bite into a burger, etc...) I got a searing pain ripping up the side of my head.
I went to the dentist after 4 days of it and she has said I likely have TMJ. They're suggesting a nightguard (at a cost of $500!) and other therapies. Friends have suggested a chiropractor might be able to make it better.
I had never heard of TMJ before now... and am at a complete loss. Any thoughts or suggestions?
