Does Anyone Suffer From Facial Pain? Medication Will Not Relieve It. I Don't Know Anyone Else Who Has The Same Pain.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Grand Falls-Windsor, NL

I assume I had tmj disfunction but an xray was negative. The dentist said it IS tmj and that braces would fix the problem.

Anyone know what I should do?
