Actually i was able to open my mouth with such ease, without tightness, but that sound, did it unlock or did i make it worse? I don't even know what's a good sign or a bad sign anymore, because no doctor tells you. What does a click sound like why do they sound different am i hurting myself after every meal? i'm left alone to figure myself out. Useless, why are all doctors so useless.

Ok, i just tried it and wiggling my jaw from side to side allows me to open my mouth wider. However, i don't want to be 'experimenting' with my jaw because i'm afriad i could make it worse.
i think i made the ringing in my right ear louder...shit
Did you get any relief from pain or ringing? I dont know anything about TMJ.
I'm so hateful about my condition. This didn't have to happen, yet something clearly caused it. Was it the chair i was sitting in? My bed? That burger i ate in september 2022? Too much forward jaw movement? I wouldn't be suffering now if any of those things didn't happen or were corrected. IDK, maybe i'm just looking for something to blame.
@Tryn2BHopeful I thought i'd try doing exercises that are supposed to help with facial pain (high rows and low rows) because they'll strenghten the back muscles, but i only feel worse. My neck and back hurt so much more now and the ringing gets louder when I swallow, touch my neck/face and when people talk loudly near me. I don't even know what to do anymore. I don't know anything either *CRIES*
@Tryn2BHopeful The only time i don't feel pain, or is greatly reduced, is when i wake up at 6am in bed but then i start moving and the pain comes back. Sitting in a chair helps too, but i'm supposed to be standing more. What I do know of TMJ is that it's a whole body condition, multifactorial, and posture plays a big role in it.
@Marina Moon I get where you are coming from. I feel the same way sometimes. Was it stress, was it the Lexapro, was it something else? Problem is outside of something to blame it accomplishes nothing. I know I need to look forward, I have no choice, but I keep looking back as if it makes a difference. I hope 2024 sees some relief for us both.
