Health, TMJ, Ice Packs on SI joint Painkillers Damage Intestine, U.S. Expert Says

[Guest guest]

I am not giving specific health care advice to this person who has a TMJ

problem.

I will, however, educate you to know that when the temporal bones are

rotated it is usually also accompanied by or cause by a hypermobile

sacro-iliac joint. Lay on ice ever 4 hours over hte weekend on your back

over the S-I joint. This will probably stabalize the S-I joint enought to

stabalize the temporal bone and take some stress off the TMJ.

You can't get the sterring wheel to stop wobbling if you don't get the car

aligned.

Thank you,

Dr. Sandra Lance, D.C.

> Hi Frank!

> I have TMJ as well. It started in about 1982 and it used to be very

severe.

> My jaw would stick, and all the other lovely things associated with

it. Great pain.

> Luckilly I had a good dentist who not only fitted me with a

night-guard (my problem was clenching my teeth) but he taught me

to--every 5 seconds if I had to--tell myself to 'relax my jaw and drop

my shoulders'.

> I also learned that it is not natural to walk around with clenched

teeth! You may laugh, but it was a revelation to me.

>

> by telling myself to relax my jaw and drop my shoulders, and by

wearing the night guard, I haven't had to take anything for it in a

long while. There will be one or two occasional nights in a year where

I know I clenched my teeth in my sleep and wear my nightguard the next

couple nights for retraining--but I don't even wear that much anymore.

> I'm not trying to trivialize your situation--it sounds like its

pretty bad pain for you to have to take that much painkillers, and I

have been in a similar situation.

> Have you tried the self-talk, and do you have a nightguard? As I

say, this really helped me out.
