I don't have jaw pain in the morning when i wake up, but as the morning progresses, so does the pain....tmj? the pain is only on the right side

Could be: To really get an answer to this you'll need an exam to evaluate your bite, muscles of mastication, joint anatomy and other imaging. Exploration of your stress levels and even sleep posture may come up as well, tmd is very multi-faceted. Get to a tmd-aware dentist for a work-up.

Seems to be: Your description of symptoms do appear to be a tmj/tmd issue, but i would get evaluated to give you a more definitive answer.

Personal e-valuation: These types of situations require a one-on-one personal evaluation, including x-rays and a clinical exam. We cannot make any reasonably accurate diagnosis with such limited information and without actually seeing you.

TMJ: Tmj can be evaluated on physical exam in the office. Please make an appointment with your primary doctor soon.

TMJ: Yes TMJ. See a specialist for guidance. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
