Ugh....

I have decieded that I have TMJ or lock jaw. From what the other mommy's have said on here last time I posted about it, that's what it sounded like. The other day I was messing with DH and to get me back he reached out and squeezed on my face. Not hard enough to hurt or anything just to get me to quit boob scooping him. Well when he did that I think he made my TMJ worse.... Today my jaw had litterally been getting stuck on a regular basis. It hurts and it scares me because I'm stuck with my mouth only opening so far for at least a minute to two mintues. Anyone know any home remedies to make it feel better? ): It's scary and sore and not fun ):

Im not sure but ive heard swishing warm tea or water around in your mouth can help. Not sure though.

"I have decieded that I have TMJ".... you cannot just 'decide' that you have a condition. Go to a doctor.

I had to get a night guard made at the dentist. I have it really bad, almost had to have wires put in my jaw.

K. With what money and insurance? I posted before explaining what's going on. I've also talked to some people about it. My bad for self diagnosing.. Pretty sure I'm not the only one...

I have TMJ and the only thing that really helps me is massaging my jaw (right at the "hinge"), stretching my mouth as big as I can (hurts, but helps), and taking afvil or tylenol.

Tylenol and warm tea is all I know to do with that problem.

Ok thanks ladies! It's just sore and annoying right now /:

Also forgot take a rag and make it damp. Then heat in up in microwave where its warm not burning hot. And lay it in that area. It'll loosen up the muscles.
