10 Symptoms of TMJ
Symptom #3: Inflammation
Our bodies are hard at work every day and everything usually runs as smoothly as clockwork. Muscles can be in operation all day without difficulties, and joints can take a lot of movement without problems. Sometimes, though, the stresses and strains can cause irritation to parts of the body, and this can result in inflammation.
Inflammation of the area around the temporomandibular joint is a fairly common complaint. The inflammation tends to take place after the joint has seen quite strenuous use, such as after eating. In some cases, the swelling can spread into the face and alter the patient’s appearance. Relief from the swelling can often be found in non-prescription medicines.
