Hi,
I have had TMJ for over 13 years and have done every treatment under the sun. Now I am looking at a repeat arthroscopic surgery (both sides) and if the disc cannot be repaired doc is going to remove it- likely since it is so damaged. If anyone has experienced this please let me know what your outcome was. The idea of bone on bone is freaking me out!

Maybe try prolotherapy first, theres a girl on this board who had good results with it.

I had three discectomies; one at L4-L5 and two at L5-S1. I guess I must have had a very good surgeon because there is not much I cannot do; play hockey; golf, sailing, etc.
