Can you use penetrex cream for tmj?

Might help but: May not be enough on its own. The muscles and ligaments that cause your jaw to move are not working smoothly. In addition: If you chew gum stop. Eat softer foods next 2-3 weeks. Apply moist heat to the joint area. Stress plays a big role in triggering TMJ problems. Find activities to help reduce your stress level. See your dentist for more detailed help.

TMJ: No. TMY is an arthritic inflammation of the joint. See your dentist or maxillofacial surgeon. In the mean time, you can use Motrin or Advil (ibuprofen) if you do not have medical conditions that may be contraindication to use of these drugs.

TMJ: The best thing to do if you have TMJoint problems is to get a consult with a dentist who has extensive training and experience treating patients with TMD. Unfortunately they are few and far between. You want to find out the cause(s) and how best to treat conservatively. There is a wide variable here as to causes, severity and treatment modalities. Better to find out cause of problem first.

TMJ TMD: Temporo-mandibular syndrome is the second most frequent cause of orofacial pain after dental pain. Proper diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. See Orofacial Pain practitioner for a consultation and treatment options and to prevent future complications.

Perhaps: Topical cream for TMJ seems harmless. My studies have observed Crossed Muscle Syndrome, with one masseter muscle tender & hypertrophic, probably from repetitive use; causing unilateral hyper-dynamic joint closure plus cartilaginous fossa deterioration; sometimes plumper cheek noted on this side. Contralateral-side gum chewing, biofeedback of spastic masseter & correction of chronic head tilting.

Not recommended: Active ingredient is enoxacin a quinolone antibacterial agent. Doesn't sound like much help for a TMJ problem.
