TMJ dysfunction
I m having pain in TMJ joint with clicking sound . Having trismus , mouth opening is only 25 mm.
From 2 months. Was advised by OMFS , COLD/HOT FOMENTATION, FLEXON MR TAB AND SOFT OCCLUSAL SPLINT . NOT MUCH RELIEF.
Consulted ODMR dr he advised prolotherapy. Had taken 1 session 1 week back. Mouth opening improved and clicking sound gone. But now again trismus is there mouth opening decreased ...
What to do...

Hello madam. Tmj problems have a long course of treatment. So it may take few more visits to treat the issue.
Also sometimes more than one technique of treatment may help. As there is improvement . This is a good sign . You just need regular checkup and treatment. Hope this helped.

Talk to experienced dentist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
TMD (temporomandibular disorders) are notoriously slow to respond and even after months of non surgical treatment some remission might be there. The first step is to identify the cause and remedy that.
This itself can take up to 1 month with occlusal equilibration etc.
My suggestion is to visit either a hospital or a multi specialty setup where OMFS, Prosthodontist & OMDR specialist are available. Follow the method/therapy for at least 4-6 months. Recovery is slow
Next Steps
Continue with therapy
