I've been told a long time I had tmj but it was asymptomatic. Then abt 18 months my left jaw pops. The other tmj dude i met with was just as expensive. I was going along great until the idiot dentist pushed my lower jaw back hard 7 months ago. I just had an abscess and crown/ root canal tooth pulled 10 days ago. On the left of course. I'm at my wits end.
