Re: More on the topic of "TMJ"

I was told I had TMJ but nothing to do about it. It was a few years ago. I
get a clicking from it at time, sometime it hurts even to the touch, and
just so you know I can move my jaw right to left further than I should be
able to. I had to do exercises to relearn how to open my mouth because I
was wired a bit longer than the norm I was told. I have no feelings in the
lower right side of my jaw do to nerve damage from the accident. I took 24
stitches in my chin because, sorry for the graphics, the bone that broke
actually went through my chin. I knocked over two teeth with the other part
of the bone, which amazingly I still have intact. I am not sure what I am
asking of you to be honest. I don't know much of anything about this. UM
