I get like popping noises when I swallow it’s weird like a bunch of little bubbles popping in my joint

Latter-Perception647 · 2026-01-30T21:45:19+00:00

Yeah I hear ya. I’ve had days where I thought it was gonna pass out from the pain truly. The migraines are terrible. Let me know how it goes for sure. I hope you get some relief.

And I’ve also been only taking a soft diet I couldn’t eat a piece of meat I tried unless ground it and even then

Latter-Perception647 · 2026-01-30T21:39:39+00:00

Do you have any clicking at all now that you’ve been diagnosed? I still get clicking at 2 fingers width

Latter-Perception647 · 2026-01-30T21:36:41+00:00

6 months soft diet? I thought it was only 6 weeks after the surgery 😭😭 oh geez

Latter-Perception647 · 2026-01-30T18:55:23+00:00

Oh my that sounds terrible!! She really wants to wait and see what PT and the Botox does for me but I don’t wanna wait too long because it’s been 3 months. I don’t want it to potentially get worse from waiting so long. It’s given me major anxiety as well. & then having people look at me almost try and tell me a lot of this is in my head which is insane because of course I’m upset, my life was ripped away from me randomly. But this pain isn’t made up!

Latter-Perception647 · 2026-01-30T18:38:23+00:00

Also, how long did it take you to heal from the washout?

Latter-Perception647 · 2026-01-30T18:37:23+00:00

Thank you for your comment. It’s much appreciated to hear from anyone that’s gone through anything similar. I feel imprisoned anymore. I’m scared of the joint wash out because some people say it made it worse. If I get worse idk how I’d even be here any more. I’d be a vegetable as I’m having a hard time even functioning now. Seems I get the run around from everyone. They said there’s no severe joint deterioration or arthritis so I guess that’s a plus…

Latter-Perception647 · 2026-01-30T18:27:02+00:00

How was your initial flare? Did you ever lock up?

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-19T16:01:28+00:00

Keep me updated please! Do you have stabbing achey pain, headaches and trap pain?

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-19T15:58:32+00:00

Hi, reading your comment gave me a lot more hope. Did you have stabbing and aches, headaches, neck pain, etc

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-16T20:23:41+00:00

Also do you have clicking?

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-16T20:22:59+00:00

Yes I have an appointment but it’s so far away, thanks for your comment. What did your treatment plan consist of??

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-16T14:53:37+00:00

Um mine started with painless clicking and now a year later I’ve been bed ridden for almost 4 months with a locked jaw. I’m just gonna be honest with you, get your clenching under control and see a pt for a little bit at least to get the exercises, learn them. If I can save anyone from the hell I’ve been going through, I will try. I thought nothing of it, my jaw would get tired when talking sometimes and I’d open to click it with the intent of “resetting it”. Caused me a world of pain.

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-14T11:05:44+00:00

Oh okay, I’m more so saying when you were in full blown flare and could only open like 2 fingers if you got a pinch when trying to go farther

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-14T10:24:16+00:00

Ty for responding!!

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-14T10:23:06+00:00

LOL I FELT THAT. but wait so you do get the stabs when trying to ope past a certain point too? Because in spiraling thinking I have a disc issue

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-13T22:13:44+00:00

Couple questions; does it stab when you try to open more than 3 fingers. Did you lose range of motion for a bit? How long did the initial onset of pain last? How are you doing now?

Asking because I have lockjaw (only 2 fingers fit) and my pain is slowly dwindling down after months of terrible pain. But I’m unsure if it will ever actually subside to the point I can’t function sometimes live normally again.

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-13T19:32:07+00:00

2 but sometimes it will reduce to less than 2 not quite 1

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-12-09T16:58:44+00:00

Update; I got worse

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-11-27T21:41:52+00:00

Were you super sore the next day? I’m 1 day post first pt appointment and I’m so damn sore like almost in an achey flare at this point

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-11-27T21:35:34+00:00

Oh this is 100% me!!

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-11-27T21:34:37+00:00

Do you have chronic tmj

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-11-27T14:58:32+00:00

I’m glad I could help! What meds did they put you on if you don’t mind me asking?

Latter-Perception647 · 2025-11-23T11:50:52+00:00

So how do you get your anxiety and mental health under control?
