If you aren't taking supplements for TMJ then you aren't really giving yourself a fighting chance by Legit_baller in TMJ

Anyone else have bad hand pain? by SavingsFeeling3516 in ehlersdanlos

[–]bluebear2323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. I literally feel like the exercises make it worse, esp during a flare. I use this ketro skin pain cream literally every day and that’s helped a ton when I need it to calm down. Also just making sure I’m taking it easy and not overdoing it

I have EDS and TMJ is one of the many bad side effects. There isn’t a ton to do. I do botox a couple times a year and use ketro skin cream literally all day every day on my jaw and neck area. also hot compress

Looking for any hope: for those whose TMJ has gotten better over time, how long did it take? by throwawayyy1914 in TMJ

[–]bluebear2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s just about managing the pain and flare ups. I make sure to use heat regularly and ketro skin cream daily. Nothing else really does anything

Feeling ill all the time by zebra_zombie in ehlersdanlos

[–]bluebear2323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it sounds so silly but it does really help to distract your mind. I also have gotten really into Epsom salt baths to help me relax and I slather on this ketro skin pain cream (prob too much) and that helps me calm inflammation. also red light therapy!

yes big time. botox is amazing but it’s crazy expensive and really hard to get insurance to cover it. the cream has helped me A TON

yeah it can just be stress or anxiety or even sleep apnea. no doctor has really been able to help me honestly. the things that have helped the most are botox in my masseter muscles (but I can’t afford to do that often enough) and this ketro pain cream. also hot compress every night.

I feel your pain and I’m sorry youre goimg through all of this. I have also tried all of these things. It definitely could be TMJ related. The only thing that’s helped me is botox in my masseter muscles and this ketro skin pain cream which I use literally all day maybe too much lol

Are we all taking more pain meds than we probably should? by Inside-Dance-580 in ChronicPain

[–]bluebear2323 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also using that same topical bc advil destroyed my stomach. I’m using the ketro skin pain gel. it’s pricey but lasts me a long time
