get it checked out before you develop a real tmj disorder and are in chronic unmanageable pain

I have the TMJ. The cracking noises mean that the ball joint is sliding in and out. Since you're not locking / FUCKED IN THE ASSHOLE WITH PAIN, you probably don't have full blown TMJ yet.

-Stop eating anything chewy or crunchy. ANYTHING.
-Stop chewing your fucking nails.
-Stop grinding your teeth. If you don't grind them, you probably grind them in your sleep. Go talk to your dentist right away for a night guard.

Put ice on both sides of your jaw for 20 min. a day, three times a day, plus whenever it starts to hurt.

A good exercise is to move your jaw as far forward as you can, then open / close your mouth past the point of clicking. If it still makes the noise, move it back a little. Repeat until you've found a spot where you can open and close your mouth without clicking. KEEP YOUR JAW AT THIS POSITION AS OFTEN AS YOU FUCKING CAN. This position keeps the joint in its socket. The more time its in the right place, the more time it has to heal / readjust itself. You can fix this if it's early enough.

i have TMJ and had to take 2 years of college off from it

sometimes i wasn't sure if i was really dead and living on hell on earth because the pain was so severe

wise up and get it fixed before its too soon, some get lucky and get it fixed quick, some spend 30-40k to get it fixed over 3-4 years(me), and some an hero from the awful pain

Not OP, but I've had this for quite some time now, about a few years. Seems to have developed after I had my wisdom teeth pulled out. Though it hasn't gotten any worse than when it first started. Would all that still work?

It probably won't fix you since it's been years, but it should keep you from getting worse and if you're in pain it'll make you feel a fuckton better.

Also, if you can, try to get a night guard that keeps your jaw in the good position. You'll have 8 hours to heal every night, plus they can keep your jaw in place while you're awake more easily than just concentrating on keeping it there.

mm might want to tell your doctor about it

it starts with that

you have an "abnormal" TMJ what the docs call it, but you don't have a TMJ disorder unless you have discomfort/pain

but discomfort and pain are right around the corner
