RE: TMJ – The Mouth Joint – PAIN!!!

in #health6 years ago

Oh, that's weird @viking-ventures. I too will be curious what you find out tomorrow.

I only take it now when it bothers me. This morning it is a bit, but I had a very restless sleep, so I'm sure that has something to do with it. I can go for days and sometimes weeks without having to take anything. My accident happened about 25 years ago though.

"Definitely loosening the muscles is crucial."

I think that's why when mine bothers me, I take the ibuprofen and the force myself to eat/chew something. It really helps.

Sort:  

Had the wisdom tooth out just now. I was right that it was loose - though it wasn't broken.

So how are things today @viking-ventures?

Slight sore where the tooth was. Slight TMJ pain. Still getting used to a lost tooth - it feels like I'm mourning, actually. It's weird. I guess it's because I'd never lost an adult tooth until now - still had all my wisdom teeth, it feels like a bit of a failure.
Hoping to reduce ibuprofen again tomorrow. It's time to be off it again.
Thanks for asking!

You're welcome @viking-ventures! And yeah, that's a little weird 😎
