Suggest Treatment For Temporomandibular Joint
For about 4 months I have been experiencing tmj although I have not been diagnosed by a specialist. For the last 10 days I have unbearable shocking in my face. The same side as tmj.I am only drinking liquid for 10 days. I read it might be Tn. Is there anything I can do from home without having a MRI ?
