Jaw exersises

[priitk]

Hi folks,

Due to TMJ ( had it 6 years) in my jaw on my left side right below my ear I have some liquid swelling from my jaw always being in pain and the muscle cracking. My other side is defined so to me it looks weird as I'm obsessed with looks;...no one else notices it though. But I was wondering if there are any exersises that would help get rid of this liquid? I work out a ton, eat well, cartio etc and it never gets rid of it. I even tried gum but that just makes my jaw hurt 50x worse.

I thought about getting braces that may fix my bite/jaw so the tmj will disappear but in the meantime I'm looking for exersises that would help define the left side if possible. I heard you can put a weight on a string with a mouthguard but would this be bad? YouTube - Jaw Exercise

anyway peace and thanks for helping! )

Do you have health insurance? Perhaps seeing a doctor would help...

wait, you want your jaw to look good? don't ever meet a money happy plastic surgeon.

I've been to every doctor there is, they can't do anything for my jaw I've had surgery and it never worked. did nothing. mouthguards do nothing. only other option is braces

TMJ is wicked if you have it, hard to get rid of, there is no known cure..most of the time it's with you for liiiife :-x but it might be a slight overbite on my part. yeah ive tried everything, I'll probably try braces soon the pain isnt that bad unless i keep opening my mouth really wide

& there is no only "tmj specialist" only dentist or other practices that have an interest for tmj.
