TMJ: Tmj is a structural problem of the jaw joint and thus requires a structural solution. Your bite and your jaw are not in harmony so the muscles try to help splint the joint creating the pain and muscle fatigue on chewing hard meat. Medications you are taking are hard on liver and kidneys and don't address the structural problem. Get a DX and some treatment by TMJ trained dentist.

TMJ. ?: A lot of info. Grinding or clenching can be a cause of the pain symptoms as well as lead to TMJ issues. Parafunctional haits can also damage dental work like bonding. I am not sure of your malocclusion, but creating a balanced bite as well as a night guard may be a solution to your problem. See your dentist to confirm the occlusion and to make you a night guard or more if it is a TMJ issue.
