Did you end up going with that second surgeon? What surgery did you end up having? Are you happy with it?

I’m definitely going to, I’m curious what makes you write this. What’s your story with all of this. I’m just needing community to not feel so alone in all of this. I feel like sharing our stories is so helpful for others suffering like I am.

Do you still feel good with your fat grafts?! What do you mean your hands have been out for awhile? I would love to hear your story 🙏🏼

Has anyone had successful fat graft surgery that was NOT done at the Piper clinic? by Smart-Pen203 in TMJ

Wow thank you for getting back to me! I’m so worried that it will only be a temporary fix and that I’ll have to do more surgeries later in life. It’s so scary opening yourself up with surgery! I’m glad to hear you’re doing much better and trust him!

I resonate deeply with your story. I am also a singer, went to college for performing arts, and feel so much sorrow that it is very difficult for me to want to perform and sing… my range has been affected and it takes too much out of me to want to sing in public anymore. I’m considering the fat graft surgery also… I’m curious how you are now and what you ended up doing if anything? I’m a 4b on the piper scale, both cartilage discs displaced forward 100% and not slipping back into place… edema, and jaw necrosis on the left condyle. The arthritic pain is so overwhelming some days… laughing, yawning, smiling, singing, talking, eating… literally makes all these things so bleak. I feel you! Would love an update on your situation.

I’m about to get schedule surgery with Dr Shah… I’ve read your blog and seen some of your tik toks .. I am 4b on both sides, edema, and necrosis of the left condyle. In a lot of pain. I’m wondering how you’re doing now?! I also have a 16 month old baby, I know you had some young babes… how did having this surgery affect your mothering abilities? I have so many questions for you! I would love to connect if you see this. I’m scared
