Orofacial/Craniofacial pain is a field of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and care of non dental pain that presents in the head, face or neck, or inside your mouth. These types of disorders all have unique causes and treatments. People with persistent pain in the form of headaches or migraines, pain in their teeth, mouth, face, neck, shoulder, and all the way down to their feet often turn to their dentist for any suspicious toothaches.

Call of duty chronic pain headcanons

Ghost

- this man was literally tortured and traumatized as a result of that, so he probably has fibromyalgia

- For those who don’t know what fibromyalgia feels like, it’s this feeling of tenderness all over your body, like when you get a bad sunburn (at least that is what it’s like for me)

- There’s a little to no treatment for it but ghost finds that hydrotherapy really helps

- He’ll switch between really hot and really cold showers depending on what he feels he needs

Price

- Although we don’t know his official age we do know he’s been in the military since he was 20 and is at least in his 30s or 40s. Meaning he’s been in the military for 10+ years.

- Do you know what being in the military for that long does to your body?

- He most certainly has some form of chronic pain, but this also means he’s had plenty of time to test out pain relief methods

- He’s tried it all: joint braces, magnesium and CBD lotions and oils, hot and cold compresses, yoga, etc.

- Sadly, he kind of forgets that he has pain relief options, so usually he just toughs it out

Gaz

- he probably holds a lot of tension in his shoulders, neck, and jaw

- So he most likely is prone to TMJ and tension headaches

- He’ll use those neck pillows that you can heat up or put in the freezer to cool down

- And when his jaw is hurting really bad, he’ll stick to soft foods and take an anti inflammatory

Soap

- injured his knee once, and it has never been the same since

- He’s got a drawer full of knee braces but he really only uses like three

- He probably has some with cool designs too

- But when the pain is really bad, he takes a pain reliever and alternates between hot and cold compresses

i totally feel you, tmj is so painful and difficult to deal with. i have semi regular breakdowns about it lmfao. i hope you're able to get some help from your dentist this week and finally get some relief <3

Thank you! I hope so too. It'd be a great relief to me to get a mouth guard so I don't have to worry about the nightly grinding. I hope I can get one or get on the path to one. I hope yours hasn't been too bad lately!!

Update

Went to an urgent care today because the pain in my mouth has become unmanageable. Got some pain meds and muscle relaxers.

I have a doctor's appointment on Wednesday to discuss the TMJ and possibly go to a specialist

I am also looking into getting my wisdom teeth removed, which might be a cause of my TMJ. I just need to know how much my insurance can cover it.

At this point, I might just go through with it and ask for a payment plan.

I have no idea when I will be able to stream again. I just want the pain to be manageable.

The only thing that actually gives me a moment of relief is swishing water in my mouth...I'm so hydrated.

Depending on how much is covered by insurance, any extra costs I might open up donations and open up commissions once I am doing better.

I miss streaming so much, I miss talking with everyone. I feel so bad that this happened so suddenly. It is seriously paining me that I cannot work. You know me, when I am done with one project I immediately have something else to work on. And to not be working...freaking out my brain.

I do appreciate all the support and kind messages and even the art I have been receiving!! So so sweet

I just wanted to let everyone know what is up, and if anyone cares to chat I'm here! I love you all so much

If anyone wants to support

We do have some fun merch!

I also have a PayPal if anyone wants to donate. You don't have to. Just having your support means the world to me. I'll take a Haruto drawing instead

But if you want to this is the link https://www.paypal.me/chocoichigo

Thank you once again ❤️

I hope you all are doing well

Stay Safe and Stay Sweet

I have a pt who has apparent status migrainosus. But it's been resistant to sumatriptan. She said she had some relief with IV meds in the ED (I believe she got depakote or valproate). I wonder if it might actually be 2/2 temporomandibular joint arthritis, which she was diagnosed with a month ago. That's what my preceptor mentioned. So I looked up TMD on UpToDate:

Pathogenesis – Several factors can contribute to the development of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) trauma, poor head and cervical posture, differences in pain threshold and processing, and psychological factors such as depression and anxiety.

●Clinical manifestations – Symptoms of TMD most commonly include facial pain: a dull, unilateral facial ache that is constant but waxes and wanes in intensity and is typically aggravated by jaw motion. Other common symptoms include earache, headache (typically frontal or temporal and often radiating to the jaw), and jaw and TMJ dysfunction (eg, decreased mandibular range of motion, clicking with jaw movement, intermittent jaw locking).

●Evaluation and diagnosis – The diagnosis of TMD is based primarily upon the history, including the patient's constellation of symptoms, and compatible physical examination findings. For patients with more severe symptoms and those with persistent symptoms, we obtain imaging to rule out local pathology in the teeth and jaw bones; a panoramic radiograph or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) are both reasonable choices. We advise against the routine use of a standard radiograph of the TMJ, as this study does not provide valuable information regarding dentition and mandibular alignment and symmetry.

●Initial management with patient education and self-care measures – For all patients with TMD, we suggest initial management with education and self-care measures (Grade 2C). This includes education regarding the natural history of TMD and counseling on optimal head posture, jaw exercises (picture 2 and picture 3*), and proper sleep hygiene, as well as avoidance of triggers (eg, oral behaviors such as nail biting, pen chewing) if these factors contribute to symptoms. There are limited high-quality data supporting the use of self-care and education in the treatment of TMD; however, given the lack of harm and the potential benefit, these interventions are appropriate for all patients.

*Isometric jaw exercises are particularly useful for patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome. These exercises are performed by applying resistance with an open or loosely fisted hand. In the isometric jaw opening exercise, the patient begins with her mouth open about an inch. The resistance and muscle contraction are held for 5 to 10 seconds before relaxing. This is repeated five times per session. Exercises can be performed with moderate resistance applied several sessions per day, or with maximum resistance one session per day.

*The isometric jaw forward thrust exercise is performed by pushing the jaw forward against the hand, holding and then relaxing. This is repeated five times per session.

•Physical therapy for musculoskeletal causes – For patients with a prominent musculoskeletal component or cervical or shoulder symptoms, we refer for physical therapy evaluation and treatment.

•Oclusal (bite) splints as adjunctive therapy – For some patients with TMD, particularly those with prominent musculoskeletal symptoms or evidence of bruxism, occlusal splints fitted by a dental clinician can be used as an adjunctive therapy along with other TMD treatments such as physical therapy.

•Biobehavioral management for comorbid psychological conditions – For patients with comorbid depression, anxiety, and stress disorders, biobehavioral management is used as adjunctive therapy in TMD treatment.

●Adjunctive pharmacotherapy for persistent symptoms – For patients with persistent symptoms despite education and self-care, we use adjunctive pharmacotherapy concurrently with other treatments.

•For such patients, we suggest using a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) as first-line pharmacologic therapy rather than other medications (Grade 2C). We generally treat patients with a 10- to 14-day course of a long-acting NSAID (eg, naproxen 250 to 500 mg orally twice daily).

•For patients with tenderness of the muscles of mastication, we suggest treatment with a skeletal muscle relaxant in addition to the NSAID (Grade 2C). For most patients, we prescribe the muscle relaxant for 10 to 14 days only. However, some patients with persistent muscular pain may benefit from an additional week of treatment.

•For patients with persistent TMD symptoms that warrant continued adjunctive pharmacotherapy after two weeks of NSAID treatment (or three weeks for those patients taking additional skeletal muscle relaxants), we suggest treatment with a tricyclic antidepressant (TCA) rather than other therapies (Grade 2C).

●Interventional management for severe or refractory symptoms – For patients with TMD symptoms refractory to noninvasive management, referral to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon with experience in managing TMD is warranted. Treatment options for these patients include trigger point muscle injections, botulinum toxin injections, and intraarticular injections.

●Surgical referral for refractory symptoms despite nonsurgical interventions – For some patients, such as those who have structural anatomic pathology on imaging and persistent jaw locking severe enough to interfere with activities of daily living despite three to six months of nonsurgical management, we suggest surgical intervention rather than no surgery (Grade 2C). Although the specific surgery offered will depend upon the intraarticular disorder, such patients are unlikely to achieve adequate symptom control without surgical intervention.

TIPS TO RELIEVE TMJ PAIN RELIEF |CANTSLEEPCENTER|

Getting yourself checked for TMJ pain could be an excellent idea if you have been experiencing prolonged headaches, jaw pain, or toothaches for some time now. Temporomandibular joints, or TMJ for short, are the joints that connect the skull to the lower jaw and hold it in place with the help of muscles and ligaments. It is possible for TMJ disorders to be caused by arthritis, trauma, or dislocation, and symptoms can include TMJ pain, ringing in the ears, and neck pain.For more information visit our website - https://cantsleepcenter.com

Here I go again. TMJ flare-up.

Most people need a night guard at night to keep from grinding etc. My issue is daytime jaw clenching. I actually wake up with my jaw feeling pretty good and by the time I go to bed it’s been hurting for hours. (When I’m in a flare-up)

I have a special ice pack I use at night that goes over my face, but I’m going to commit to doing the stretching exercises 5-10 times a day for  however long its needed during a flare-up. Then make it part of my morning, mid-afternoon, and evening stretching routine. Yes, I do stretches that often. Lol.. It’s been successful for my lower back pain.

I know my jaw muscles are used to being tense. They just are. At this point, it's their default position. So, I have to re-train them.

A specialist once told me that when I’m awake to set a timer for every 20 mins then do deep breathing exercises. He told me to do it for weeks until I was able to teach my jaw to be relaxed and not be tense all the time.

I’ve been battling anxiety and other mental health issues for years. I’m aware that this is where I store my stress. So, I’m going to try it. It sounded crazy, but I am sick of these flare-ups. And um, I was given this advice a year ago. Sigh.

The one thing I’ve learned when it comes to connection between  chronic pain and mental health is that there are ways to retrain your brain. It doesn't fix everything, but at least it is a tangible thing that I can have some control over. And see progress.

A timer, eh?

Here’s set of exercises that are useful. There’s more. But I need a goal that seems obtainable if I’m going to do them on a regular bases.

1> Stretching Exercises

When it comes to chewing and grinding, masticatory muscles play an important part. Stretching and massaging jaw muscles with fingertips for a few minutes at least ten times a day can offer relief.

Another simple jaw stretching exercise involves merely opening the mouth slowly and closing it. Open your mouth slowly and spread it as wide as possible, keep it in the open position for a few seconds, and close it slowly.

Moving the lower to the left and right sides slowly is another good way to stretch the TMJ.

2> Breathing Exercises

Also referred to as Equal Breathing, this simple form of breathing exercise requires the patient to inhale for four to five seconds, and then exhale slowly through the nose. It is considered the primary step toward reducing the amount of stress.

3> Forward Jaw Movement

The exercise involves placing a wooden stick or plastic spoon between the upper and lower front teeth and moving the lower jaw forward and backward. You can also move the jaw slowly to the left and right sides for a few minutes. Initially, you might experience some pain; however, the exercise would become more comfortable with time and help the jaw to recover.

4> Tongue Up

Tongue up involves placing the tip of the tongue on the mouth’s roof and gently applying pressure while slowly opening and closing the mouth at the same time. Doing it for a few minutes at least five to ten times a day can offer relief.

5> Partial Goldfish Exercise

It is almost similar to the goldfish exercise. Place the tip of the tongue on the mouth’s roof area. Then, the next step is placing your middle finger on the area below the chin and your thumb on the TMJ joint, in front of the ear. While your fingers are in position, let your lower jaw drop slowly and bring it up again to close the mouth. Repeat this exercise at least six times in one sitting
