Along with my other pain, I had the 2nd upper molar pulled today. I have an internal derangment of the temporal-mandibular disc, due to degenerative osteo-arthritis. Now I feel a flare of the TMD pain coming on that I suffered for 7 weeks this spring. It is severe radiating pain, in the jaw, face, ear, temples, neck and muscles. All places that hurt anyway, just makes it worse. I've been applying ice packs to my jaw. Any other suggestions? I am so tired of living in pain. Oh well, tomorrow I get to go back to work and rest up from the weekend. Hope everyone had a good 4th. Wishing you a pain-free night.
