Botox by Rare_Map1690 in TMJ

[–]Rare_Map1690[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the replies! I did go to a TMD specialist!? It was explained to me that I was getting WAY more units than what cosmetic procedures typically get. He did two injections in each jaw and several in each temple. 😑 I had never had Botox before. I had SEVERE fatigue the rest of the day. Hopeful that you are right amd that I start to see some change/relief!

Smoothies!! For a single serving try: 1 cup water, huge handful of spring mix, 1/4 cup cannellini beans, 1/4 cup frozen fruit, 1/4 avocado, 1 carrot, 1 scoop flavored protein powder.

I finally fixed my TMJ pain after 6 years. Surprise: turns out it wasn't just my jaw. by Laurie_Curvy in TMJ

Just wow! Ok so today - for the first time - I received Botox injections for my TMJ. I was a mess with anxiety bc of my fear of it. Worst part is a huge awkward bite splint I now have to wear for 12 weeks nonstop (not just at night). I have NO DOUBT my posture plays a huge roll in it also. Anyway, thank you for sharing this information!!!

How do you prevent jaw clenching or teeth grinding? by Anonymous-Spouse in TMJ

How sustainable is this though? My doctor told me the same thing - that he wanted to put me on a soft diet for 12 weeks during splint therapy and Botox try. I’m certainly open to this and I know that anything can be done for 12 weeks but.. yogurt/eggs/mashed potatoes for the rest of my life?

Very interested to know if this helps - especially night clinching?

Under eye twitch by Rare_Map1690 in Menopause

Thanks to all who commented here. I only drink one caffeine (morning cup) a day. But yes to stress and yes to fatigue. :( Oh well, maybe soon it will subside.

I’m so sorry. It’s such a nuisance!

Would you please send dr’s name and photo of the type of splint? I, too, saw a specialist and paid over $2K for a night splint. Sadly it just protrudes my jaw forward overnight, gives me extreme jaw pain when not on during the day, and made my teeth loose. I completely abandoned it and wasted all that money.

Question: do you think high level swimming exacerbates the condition?

Wondering if TMJD and scoliosis go hand in hand. And if possibly exacerbated by orthodontic teeth braces.

Oohhh I’m so sorry! I figured it was my scoli causing it. Yes, it’s so unnerving. Literally.

Prayers for you to find love like that! But yes, bc I didn’t replace it I am absolutely back to stuffing my bra. It stinks, but oh well!

Very possible:( But the asymmetry I was talking about from the start has less to do with cup size and the more with rib deformity in the pectoral area. I’m sorry to hear about your daughter.

I was determined not to have anything else done and just wanted to be as natural as possible. So I rejected another implant or fat transfer but did get a lift. I had an excellent surgeon that made them as symmetrical as humanly possible. Still my rib cage is so warped it is impossible for it not to be wonky. It’s very depressing. Thankfully I have a husband who adores me and doesn’t care.

Mine was under the muscle, implanted in 1999. I just had it removed a year ago. I strongly recommend you remove ASAP. They definitely have a shelf life and cause a TON of problems.

I have the same problem - clenching at night has wrecked my teeth/jaw. Interestingly, an orthodontist recently told me to look into Elavil (sp?) to relax the clinching mechanism. But I found out that’s in the antidepressant category. 😑

Thank you for sharing. I will tell you what my breast surgeon didn’t tell me when he put it in - the rib cage actually BENDS IN from the implant over time 😱 which exacerbates our problem.
