I am new to this site. I am interested in knowing more about TMJ. I'm not sure if that's what I have because the pain is only on the left side of my jaw.
temporomandibular joint, the hinge joint for your jaw. one on each side so it can affect just one side.very painful,causes popping and cracking sounds and headaches most people get a mouth piece made by dr to wear to correct,i had both of mine replaced in 1998.they finally wore out and dislocated,can be prevented though,i would def see dr about it.
David, Thank you for your advice. In fact, in Europe, there is only two surgeons, specialists of the surgery of the joints : one in England and one in Italy ! The French surgeons are lagging behind, say that it is too risky, do not dare. It seems that that takes place better in United States and in Canada too, where maxillo facial surgeons are used of this kind(genre) of surgery. Concerning me, the replacement of tmj is not for at once, I can wait but it is important for me to have advice. Thank you for being present for all people who need testimonies, as me 🙂

Hello David, i have a little question. As I told you, i suffer of idiopathic condylar resorption and in a first time, the surgeon propose me an orthodontic treatment and a orthognatic surgery to move forward the mandible. Secondly, if it gets worst, he propose me a TMJ replacement surgery.
What is the same thing for you : at first the orthodontics treatment and the orthognatic surgery? Then, the TMJ replacement.?
Because I heard orthognatic surgery was not indicated in the cases oh idiopathic condylar resorption. And can aggravate the resorption .
I am a little lost?
Can you help me?
Thank you very much

Hello everyone
I have a habit to chew from one left side of mouth due to a cracked teeth since 8 years and now since two weeks i found out that my right jaw clicks when i open or yawn and i am very scared that this is the starting of tmd and i am also on bed due to leg fracture since july 2017 i also have sinusitis please any can tell is this due tmd or my habbit of chewing from one side of mouth but there is no pain or lock jaw only clicking noise
I see that this is an older site. I was just diagnosed with osteoarthritis TMJ from a CT scan. I am 72 and other than some osteoarthritis in my lower back (keep well in check with exercises) and Ulcerative Colitis, nothing else is wrong with me. My Mom did take DES while pregnant with me in 1951 in Rochester.
My left jaw hurts only when I chew. I can't even tell it is there unless I eat. Then very painful. I see that a cold pack and then heat will help. Anyone else experience this osteoarthritis TMJ?
