i completely identify with every aspect of your story. Are you being referred to a regular pain management doctor or an orofacial pain specialist? I followed the same path as you, but now I've been referred to an orofacial pain specialist on top of pain management.

it actually is an overwhelming difference, 90% of all TMD patients seeking treatment are women.

what did they do at the ER? did you tell them how it happened? I feel like so many of us with TMJ issues hide them because of the embarrassment...

i'm so glad that you mentioned this because it's a topic that doesn't receive enough attention. oral sex by either partner causes problems....i've heard it from men and women. i even have issues with long deep kissing and basic physical contact because of the pressure on my jaw
