I am having awful problems with TMD/TMJ. I had my jaw lock completely. I had arthroscopic surgery in September. Now, I can open my mouth but it hurts. My face is always tired. I am taking anti-inflammatories. They want me to get braces and have orthognathic surgery, but I honestly don't think I can hold my mouth open longer than 5 minutes. When the dr. doesn't know what to tell me they just tell me to relax. The only thing that is stressing me out, is them telling me I'm stressed. Has anyone had problems after arthroscopic surgery? Any suggestions?
