Going on 3 years of pain.
I’m mentally drained.
Back in 2022 I had a root canal that was the catalyst to all of this. Jaw was over extended - I believe a disc was displaced. I’d get in flares at times but this last one became chronic.
I don’t understand how we can send people to space but there’s not a way to help jaw pain? It’s excruciating. My jaw has been locked at 29mm for over a year now. My face twitches from the muscle imbalance, it also created an extreme open bite, which I’ve had to fix with braces. Which, I will probably have to do another round of, because now I think maybe I need to invest in someone that does splints. Thousands of dollars later and it’s just like living in a nightmare. I often think of how nice it would be just to go to get a coffee without being in pain. To eat a burger again. To kiss my husband and smile and laugh, again, without pain,
I’m sorry for any of you going through this. It’s a lot of snakes salesmen and I have yet to find someone that can actually help me.
