Hello All:

I am tam bam and I would like to introduce myself.  I am a post surgical tmjd sufferer.  I have severe arthritis on both sides.  I had 2 surgeries about 3 years ago and the last surgery failed on my last year.  My first surgery was arthrocetisis surgery and when that didn't help the surgeon had to cut me open and go in.  I had an MRI before both surgeries but it didn't show the full scope of the problem especially on my right side which is the worst side.  The MRI did show a bone spur on my left side with disc displacement but nothing on the right side except for a displaced disc and my pain then was... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (tam bam) http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4924 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:11:39 PST http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4086/Welcome-to-our-Guests-Visitors Please stop in and say Hello.

We hope this helps with some of the most basic questions.
Please check the TMJ Symptoms list at the top of the Support page. We've found it to be as helpful with common symptoms as anything available.
Also, please read the ADA recommendations regarding a diagnosis and seeking help.

Reading this information will help with your first post and help you to get involved with ongoing discussions if your are new to Support Forums.

The more we know helps us to be prepared to seek help, choose a competent care provider and look for answers from others with TMJ problems and the professionals we see.

All Topics in this Forum are for your information and hopefully will be helpful in some manner.

Please remember, this is a self help group.

And because of this judgments are made that may not be correct So I ask you to keep an open mind as I try to explain who I am and how FM/MPS has assaulted not only my life but those whom I love as well.

You see, I suffer from a disease... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Elaine2004) http://tmjtalk.com/topic/4070 Thu, 04 Jan 2007 03:23:12 PST
