A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ flare up: Sounds like a disc out of position. If disc can be recaptured healing will be accelerated. You may need occlusal orthotic, anti-inflammatories, alternating heat/cold (moisten wash cloth with warm or cold water), exercises, stress reduction, soft diet, etc. See Dentist w expertise in treating Joint Dysfunction.
