Progression of my tmj treatment
Even though my tmj treatment is going on, even now, but I think the following improvements have occurred to me... 1)I can chew food better than before 2)There is no pain, no clicking near my jaw 3)I can talk better etc... But even now, I feel... 1)my cheek muscles are tight 2)my facial profile is not symmetrical like before 3)tight neck and back muscles with some noisy sounds during exercise etc...As a result I doubt /worry /overthink sometimes and I think my treatment is not working properly. Is my treatment going towards right direction? Please comment on the basis of my symptoms provided above . Should I follow any restrictions in excessive talking, laughing and during any physical activity? Please suggest some exercise for my neck and back to perform at home. Please please please help me...

Health Tips
Avoid chewing very hard food. Try having soft diet. Avoid clenching your teeth too hard. Proceed with mouth opening and closing exercises very slowly at least twice or thrice a day.
