Vannie, I can't tell yet. It can take up to four weeks, and I might have to increase dose. However, I have some relief from taking a muscle relaxant at night and wearing a mouth guard. However, it doesn't fit well, and causes some TMJ pain. I get my new mouth guards on Friday, and those should help a lot. So, I am having some relief, and can do a bit more activity. But not to where I can chew or exercise yet. It will take some time to find what works. But I am encouraged to have less pain, and it's more manageable. Thanks for asking! I hope you can find some help with PT. Good idea to get a second opinion.
Katie, I'm glad you are having great weather.
MT, I hope the procedure is very successful for you. I think it's always an advantage to have something that fixes the problem permanently.
