Typically Not: There are many untoward complications involved with any surgery to the TMJ and it would be best to follow up with your surgeon in investigating if this is a complication that needs to be addressed or otherwise.

Yes and no: Some patients may have a gritty feeling in their joint. This is usually due to adhesions or scarring. However, if the joint feels like it is getting stuck, you should discuss this with your surgeon.

Not necessarily : I would go back to the surgeon who performed the arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic surgery) to get some answers. You may need additional tmj/tmd treatment. Don't hesitate!

No: Not normal in a successful arthroscopy. Have your surgeon assess your progress.
