Hello everyone! I’m sure there are people here from Reddit that were apart of the TMJ subreddit and I just wanted to create this so we still have a place to talk.

If someone would like to be a mod let me know! I suck at modding so I would appreciate help

I'm very sorry for the delay. I hope you can get those realigners soon to help the tooth. I really wish a shifting bite wasn't a thing ugh.

Wow that is wild, TMJ affecting your feet! I can't imagine how they might be connected other than through nerves. The human body really is something else.

Thank goodness you're were given meds that help the pain and have the strength to take less than what you're prescribed.

You said it! Ig it's time for me to start using a mouthguard again

So I’m only taking less to build up a backup supply. I do need the whole 4 everyday but I don’t want some pharmacy to be out and I go days without em.

Yeah it makes no sense how all of this happened, it’s so weird. Really really weird things was happening to my teeth and jaw for a while there. Like all my teeth would randomly start popping for 5 minutes and everything would be different. It always caused these crazy flair ups and swelling in my body. It’s like my body was reacting to whatever was happening. The last time it happened my teeth popped and I just tried to ignore it cause that was about the 6th time it’s happened and this was with Invisalign in. My body jolted up at 1 am and my entire right arm was asleep and whenever I moved my fingers in my left arm it was like my entire arm and hand was vibrating from the nerve freaking out. It’s like my whole arm was hollow and vibrating violently.

My right arm kept falling asleep when I laid down so I had to get up and sit on a chair to get blood flow to it. My armpit and shoulder was swollen on the right side so it’s like by body reacted in a weird way and made my upper right side swell up. It was really scary. Every time that happened insanely weird things happened that are unexplainable. I honestly think that after my wisdom tooth got removed something bad happened because that’s when all the bad stuff started to happen. I think my body started to react like there was physical trauma by my jaw doing weird things and that caused some sort of autoimmune response
