I was diagnosed after my car accident 1999. At the time it was my chiropractor who diagnosed me. I still see a chiropractor for my treatments when needed & he does help. I currently wear retainers at bedtime with my CPAP machine with rubber bands that helps,. I would have small flare ups that would pass after a few days but I really haven’t had any major problems until a couple weeks ago. I yawned and my jaw locked open. (Not the first time) Had to see my oral surgeon to get it unlock. I also see Physical therapy 3 times a week whi does massage and electrical stem on my neck in the base of my skull which has been helping me. But now my jaw muscles hurt to do the chewing motion. The worst is biting down. I can’t close the teeth together. So I have been eating soft foods. Pudding, applesauce, protein drinks. Nothing that requires any chewing. Talking is not my friend. Trying to rest the muscles as much as I can. But I have damage the temporomandibular joint. The surgeon says they need to brake my jaw and realign it and few other adjustments to fix it. But migraines are a killer and this has certainly triggered some nasty ones for me.
