My tmj is a chronic health problem, I guess

[XanaDUer2]

Been asymptomatic for a long time until July 2023 and my left jaw popped outta place. Tried self care. I knew it was bad. Sought out what I thought was an awesome specialist. Got phase 1 removable orthotics. Had no pain..after months and me hoping I could jus5 maintain, I decided to move onto uninsured phase 2, 25k..plastic or6hotic glued on bottom teeth.

Front teeth broke off I follow drs orders to comenin Tue not Thur and he reapplies. With glue, the front plastic pieces PUSHING hard, imo, on lower jaw.

So had ear pain and jaw ached. I'm livid bc he said they prob didn't even need to be applied again. My jaw and ear hurt 5 days later.

Simce this is stressed me out, I went back Thu, complained abt the pain after he pushed my jaw back. Why would u do that when someone has a fucked up? I had to take Aleve again. He kinda blew me off, said the ptessure wasnt hard enuf, and my jaw is stable. But here I am in pain st8ll and things were going so well.

This made me lose trust in him. I said I'm not comfortable with pressure on my jaw at all. Very upset. I'm not crazy, i now have pain, I've prepaid and i have much work coming up. I'm gingerly chrwing food. I could cry I'm so frustrated and angry. Why ru pushimg hard ON MY JAW?ETA TMJ causes ear discomfort ringing. My ears are popping. I'm wrrd this asshole pushed my jaw back imto my ear area and i have no recourse. I just have to accept this no matter what
I'm still stunned he pushed on it. Just pinch the piece on and hold it. And the plastic pieces came off within hrs so it was pointless. I could tell he was annoyef
