I have it pretty bad. Had to change jobs because of it. I see a specialist dentist who is a professor at the University and teaches courses on TMJ. I was also sent to a chiropractor who does mostly work on the jaw - it is mostly an internal massage on the jaw. I have a mouth guard that I rarely use now as my TMJ is mostly gone. When I started with the chiropractor I could open my mouth 18mm (normal is 45), within a few appointments I got to 28 and now seem to stay at around 35. I can eat anything I want now instead of soft foods.
