Cause to be deter: There are some patients that have some conditions that allow extreme flexibility in their joints. These patients do have an increased incidence of TMJ problems. You should check with someone that treats these type of problems to get an adequate diagnosis. You may wish to check with your physician or dentist for a referral.

Possibly: Knee and elbow symptoms are typically overuse and/or damage/injury related. Are you a tennis player and runner historically ? TMD is most often muscle,ligament, clenching,grinding related , but there can be a bone component as well as a bite issue. All three could be affected by a degenerative joint disease, but I would not be quick to lump them together. Seek Tx separately. Good luck.
