as stated in the topic..
does anyone here has TMJ?

i've been having TMJ for almost 5 years now
everytime i google, most of the people replied saying that they suffer big amounts of pain just by opening their mouth to eat
in just about 2 years of having this disorder..

but im currently at my 5th year.. still no pain, but my jaw just gets a little sore now (can feel it)

anyway. TMJ's symptoms are cracking of the jaw bones.. like cracking your knuckles with the "pop" sound..
sometimes it can be very loud, sometimes just sounds normal..
but the sensation is there, it makes you want to crack it.

i've been to the dentist, but he says he dont see any misalignment in my jaw.

pls help/advise!

been having TMJ since 15..
already 6 years with this.

last year around second half of 2012, i had really serious pain issues when i open my mouth. but after awhile it was gone.. until today (so far).
but i guess it'll come back again if it "pops" too much?

sometimes if i opened too fast or too "extreme", it really locks and when i close it, its REALLY painful.. its like the jaw isnt aligned at all and i have to stop all mouth related activities for about 5-10 minutes :S.

how often do you have the pop? and is it painful? or it feels like cracking your knuckles?

mine isnt painful at all. only second half of 2012 i had pain. after that no.

everyone has TMJ. TMJ is temporomandibular joint. everyone has it. ,
