Hospital Appointment TMJ

Had a hospital appointment yesterday for the pain in my jaw at St Helier.
Had an xray of my face and then saw consultant. Told not much they can do eat soft food, no chewing, no singing, no eating apples, try to stop jaws clicking and see if have any habit like grinding teeth or clenching jaw. Since she said that have become aware of clenching my jaw a lot but wasn't aware of it before. Have to heat up jaw each night with heat pack whether it is painful or not. It is more painful now because of all the manipulation. also have to go to dentist to sort out sharp tooth as nurse was concerned it could cause tongue problems.
Have fear of dentist but have made an appointment for January.

Another thing that they can't seem to do much about it is enough to make you get vety fed up but am trying hard not to let it happen and to stay up.
