Do i have tmj?
Question:
Answers:
you definitely should see a doctor. I think cancer is a little extreme. i find that my tmj hurts after i eat chewy things like gum or if i strain my jaw to eat a hard roll. sometimes it hurts for a day afterwards. try to avoid foods that strain your jaw. go to a doctor to check it out first though!
Nobody, even a doctor, can diagnose via the Internet. Do yourself a favor and see your doctor and/or dentist. Good luck.
TMJ does make your jaw and head hurt. Sometimes even down to hour shoulders and in your ear.
Do you grind your teeth at night?? That can give you TMJ. You should make a doctors appt. if it is bothering you that much.
Does your jaw pop or grind?
Usuaaly TMJ hurts all the time, not just once a day. Mine got so bad I had to have surgery, so I urge everyone to go see their dentist as soon as possible. Even if you have to wear braces and a plastic mouthpeice it is better than letting it get worse.
If it is TMJ you have caught it early.
