I just yawned and popped my jaw (on the left side) out of the joint.

I hate having TMJ.

It sucks to be me right now!

Grrr Grrr Grrr Grrrr

My sympathies. My TMJ has been so bad recently that I pop out about once a week. Sucks like a great big sucky thing.

Some pop-out days are worse than others. I have to wear this thing between my front teeth because I'm a grinder - it makes my jaw pop out more often. There were a couple of days back in September when my jaw joints hurt like crazy when I did something wrong putting them back into place.

and now I'm starting to sound like an old lady!

I used to wear a splint. I'm not a grinder, but they were trying to keep my jaw in better alignment. It made things so much worse in the pain and pop out department. And it took two tries for the dentist to even make the frelling thing, because my bite is so bad -- he called it a "roller coaster" bite, that never lands the same way twice. I'm just resigned to dealing with it as best I can.

And we only sound old. ;)
