My TMJ / TMD su..s. Definately is a distraction / TMS equiv. Its easier to manage TMJ as TMS during the day with Sarno, hard to manage at night when you are asleep. Take care, -Stryder |

Fox,
When I was getting over shoulder and leg pain, I would occasionally have my jaw tighten up, not to the point of pain but definitely discomfort.
It went away with everything else. |

It's rather funny. I always called it TMJ also. Then I was asked to write an article on it for an online news source. Well, I did some research and discovered I knew alot about the condition, but I did not know the correct name. You live, you learn.
Oh, by the way, I still used the name TMJ for the article, since no one seems to know what TMD is...lol

Most people refer to the condition as TMJ, when that is not correct. TMJ refers to the Temporomandibular Joint itself. The common correct names for the actual pain syndromes are:
TMD Temporomandibular Disorders
TMJD Temporomandibular Joint Disorder
or
TMJ Syndrome
Just wanted to add a little something to the conversation. -Sensei

I have had tmj like symptoms for 2 years that led to neck pain. Went through two tmj dentist (each one for around 8 months) chiros, and cranial sacral therapy which just made my neck and back hurt more. Also wore splints, now I'm just trying to treat it as tms.
I have ms and don't know if that has anything to do with it, but getting treated for tmj just gave me more pain everywhere going from one doctor after another and the chiros and that.
I don't know if its tms related or not- wish I did. |

OOPs! Being the perfectionist that I am, I must state that I meant to type in "orthodox." |
