The more you understand TMJ, the more you will understand it must be looked at from the holistic perspective — every component of your muscular and skeletal structure is interconnected and the symptoms of this disorder can manifest in many ways throughout the body. Physicians sometimes call TMJ “The Great Imposter” because a wide array of medical symptoms can be caused by TMJ (but many of these symptoms also have other causes as well, so don’t jump to conclusions).
Common symptoms in the jaw and mouth:
- joint pain, on one or both sides of the head
- jaw muscle pain and stiffness, on one or both sides of the head
- clicking and popping sounds from the jaw joint
- difficulty opening the jaw
- bruxism (teeth grinding and teeth clenching)
- sensitive teeth
The following list of symptoms (from http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/tmj-38544-5.html) is one of the more comprehensive and accurate list of symptoms I have seen:
