Thanks Zensee, I didn't realise they were the same topic! This was what I posted there: Actually... just a few days ago I did have my entire collarbone area and upper chest massaged as well as my jaw massaged when I had my teeth cleaned. Oh, and a parafin (sp?) hand dip . I wuv my dentist. *****************I have major league TMJ, my mouth opens 1/4" on a good day. If I didn't get the massage during a cleaning, gods the pain afterward would be excruciating . Some TMJ is mild, maybe clicking while yawning or a muscle tiredness. Some is not so mild.In all honesty it is the worst ailment I have. The Lupus n Fibro n other stuff is a cakewalk in comparison to TMJ. Yanno, I have 15% of the cartilage remaining on my left side which means that no splint in the world will help. They don't fit in my mouth lol.Much of the time I can't even speak, so that is yet another reason I freakin love the internet. I can 'talk' all day long without pain. Knock on wood for carpal tunnel eh?
