Nope,,,,,,,,,,, sorry. You had a pre-existing condition from clenching all

I completely agree. That was the first and last time I try to
argue with you guys!......thanks for the input.

Btw, i heard the Dr. Boyd tmj pop today.....what the?......how does

By wearing an NTI every night <G>.

You see, Dr. Boyd was a young dentist (recently graduated from USC)
who was suffering with migraines and lots of jaw pain. Noone had
been able to give him much relief, so he imersed himself in every
bit of information available to try and help himself. (Sound
familiar?<G>)

He experimented with all kinds of bite guards/splints (mainly trying
to address the TMJ issues since he didn't know the headaches were
in fact related at the beginning).

He eventually placed a type of discluding element on the anterior
portion of a traditional TMJ splint. Things got better with his
TMJ, and after some time, and he realized he wasn't grabbing a handful
of ibuprofen for his headaches each morning either. This wasn't just
'neat', it was a huge discovery. He did not regress, and he
wondered if it would work on others. The connection of this multi-
tude of symptoms and a solution had been unearthed.

After having success with himself, he honed the design of his
appliance and began treating other patients for the same problems.
Most of them got better. He studied more, talked to neurologists
himself (evidently some with more open minds than you have found).
He was able to offer the world a simple device with a fairly
simple protocol that could offer many suffering patients relief
that had previously been a huge, terribly expensive crap shoot.

This all led to the connection between clenching/jaw pain/migraine.
I believe it to be one of the major medical/dental break-throughs
of my lifetime.

So to go back to your story, you never had two separate problems
that got worse from an injured jaw. You had this clenching issue
for years, and it just so happened that it got worse, the structures
were further stressed, and that one opening was the 'straw that
broke the camel's back'.

I'm sure that your neurologist 'friends' are intelligent, well-educated
folk. They have (IMO) simply learned too much of the wrong thing.
Since they haven't been able to conquer this TMJ/migraine syndrome,
there is either a psychological component or some mysterious pathway
of pathology that is beyond known treatment.

Millions of dollars are being thrown down a rat hole, people are
suffering, people are getting worthless/sometimes dangerous treatment,
people are taking way too many drugs, all for the want of an NTI.

Best wishes,
Steve

Im sure i had been clenching for some time, but im not so sure that
the injury was the result of
structures already injured. I actually did something incredibly
stupid. I had noticed that as I stretched my mouth
open, the "sinus" headache that id been plagued with forever seemed to
change. I had been surfing the web and came
across some jaw stretching exercises, and i followed the instructions
to jut my jaw sideways and open, and when i did came
the crack that changed everything. i remember clamping my jaw shut in
horror-never realizing that my seeming indestructible jaw was
so fragile.
