I saw this post on a TMJD page on Facebook and thought that I would share it here. Would you have any specific advice I can give to this person Dr Amir so that her symptoms can be eased a little?
"Hi thankyou for the add. I'm ***** i have been suffering for a very long time and am on the TMJ hope page, am glad ive found a UK group, im so down at the moment am struggling to cope, last September i had arthrocentisis on both sides and steroid injections, which didnt work, back in February i had an Eminectomy on my left side, i wanted both sides done in one go but they said it was too much, i am going back in on the 25th june to discuss how i am now and whether they think i need the right side doing, im emotionally and physically drained i barely sleep for 4 hours a night and its always broken sleep, i went back 2 months ago and they said that when they extubated me after surgery because im asthmatic my airways started to close and go into spasm so they don't want to do the surgery too close to last time but im so desperate now, paracetamol and ibuprofen dont work the only thing i can do is 2 codeine on top of the ibuprofen and paracetamol and it doesn't stop the pain it just makes me more relaxed and spaced out i also try holding hot water bottles against my face but they dont seem to have an effect... sorry for my big rant just sat here very tired but cant sleep and feel like no one understands to them they think its just a jaw ache again sorry guys and thankyou again for the add xxx" Comment (1)

For those who do not know what the two procedues in jaw rehabilitation mean:
Arthrocentesis: is the clinical procedure of using a syringe to collect synovial fluid from a a joint capsule. Eminectomy: (sometimes referred as eminoplasty) is the surgical procedure in which the articular eminence (Bony protruberance projecting from the skull anterior to the head of the jaw) is removed to provide a smoother opening of the TMJ. Please read this blog for a detailed description: http://tmjdiaries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/the-surgery-explained-part-i.html It is very unfortunate that poor handling of TMJ cases leads to such drastic measures. I do not know what the outcome of such procedures is as I have never had to send any patient for this surgery. Careful gentle procedures eventually heal the joints as seen on numerous cases. Every patient who attends here essentially has a jaw problem - some worse than others. I remember one particular girl who was not able to open her mouth more than half an inch for a couple of years. This happens when the disc is completely displaced. The lower jaw is usually much smaller and needs to grow for the TMJ to function correctly. This takes time. This particlular patient has almost completely recovered gradually over a couple of years with her jaw now much better developed. When a patient is in extreme pain the patient does not have the patience for a slow treatment. Surgery may give a rapid answer. We need to hear from those who have undergone successful surgery and have gotten rid of their pain. I am not a proponent of such measures as they do not address the cause. Comment (1)
