I could an opinion or two - Jaw related Migraine

[Guest guest]

I sometimes get jaw related Migraines due to an old injury. I had

TMJ surgery about 5 years ago and it helped alot, but from time to

time if i am under stress, i will sometimes clench at night and wake

up the next day with a raging headache. (i have a night gaurd, just

dont use it all the time)

 

Anyway, today is one of those days. Usually i can get myself mellow

enough for my jaw to relax by applying peppermint and lavendar to the

temples, and lavendar tea but so far that has not helped. Normally a

trip to the Chiro would fix me right up, but since i moved here i

have not found one yet

 

So i am looking for something to mostly aleviate the pain, and I was

wondering if a dab of DMSO would help if i apply some to the jaw

joint area? Although most of the stress now seems to be in the temple

area and just behind the ear.
