How to cope with TMJ and what do you do to make the pain lesser?

Hi there. Sorry for not replying earlier. I have not been very regular here. My tmj pain has becaome very negligable. I went to my phsiotheraphist and had massage, ultrasound and heat fermentation for about two weeks. And I keep excercising(the ones which they taught) the jaw. I have joined a gym and am working out for general fitness as well as strengthening my muscles and my whole body. That makes the muscles in the body much better because I keep stretching them twice a day or atleast once a day. And I do excercise six days a week. My neck, shoulder and arm pain is much lesser now since they have strengthened. And my bruxism is also in control. I try not to overwork my jaw and am always careful of what I eat. It is not only the jaw for me. I have chronic back pain which had spread to my legs as well as my mid and upper back. So, you could say that my whole body hurts like hell. But regularly working out and eating right as well as keeping your mind relaxed helps a lot. The day I get tensed and worked up over something or someone, all the pain surfaces. So, visit your dentist or take an appointment with a physiotheraphist, get fit and it should come under control. Hope this helps and works for you.
