Have tmj dysfunction on right side. pain and can't fully bite down. comes and goes 2 months now. gets better with rest. is this a slipped disc? tx?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not slipped disc: Slipped cervical disc herniations typically cause pain down shoulder and arm and even to hand. TMJ is a dysfunction of the jaw joint with pain of jaw or face. As for treatment, you need see a dentist or oral surgeon.
