Had tmj and stiff jaw muscles for over a year. recently jaw muscles are twitching-feeling they trying to come back to life - could this be the case?

TMD\TMJ: Twitching is not a good sign nor does it signify a return to normalcy or muscle health. See a local dentist who has extensive training and experience treating patients with tmd\tmjoint symptoms. An evaluation along with appropriate recommendations and treatment are warranted if you want to feel better and minimize the likelihood of further problems.

NO!: Muscle twitching implies that there are 'muscles spasms' in your jaw muscles.. You should see a dentist qualified in TMJ treatments.

Probably TMJ: Related to TMJ. See a TMJ expert to sort things out. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
