A member asked:
I have bad tmj pain, i can't open my mouth all the way without severe pain, should i take ibuprofen,or indomethacin? also, will a muscle relaxer help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indomethacin: indomethacin is longer acting than ibuprofen so preferred for a more sustained anti-inflammatory response and pain relief, muscle relaxants will not help with a joint pain from TMJ
