TMJ: You describe temporomandibular joint pain. See your dentist but beware: many people get better on their own with a little time. Don't rush into major surgery.

TMJ: Or tmd symptoms. In early stages many will respond to conservative treatment, e.g. Splint or occlusal adjustment. Go slow with any type of surgery even arthrosopic.
