TMJ issues from a broken Jaw that healed incorrectly

<p>A few years ago when I was very young, I started to notice one jaw side would click and have a sharp pain/inflammation. After seeing several TMJ doctors, chiropractors, dentists and getting X-rayed, they found that my TMJ problems were from a broken jaw (left side) that failed to heal correctly and is now bent (instead of straight like the other side) in the X-ray (I cannot recall breaking it though).</p>

<p>Do I need surgery to fix this or can I use alternative medicine? What kind of doctors or surgical procedures should I ask for if I am to go through conventional or alternative routes?</p>

<p>I wanted to ask my question here because conventional doctors give so many mixed messages and unhesitatingly recommend the most invasive techniques.</p>

<p>As if anyone here would know. Come on now.</p>

<p>At least ask on a medical board.</p>

<p>The last thing I would do is take medical advice from anyone on this board.</p>

<p>In your case it sounds like an amputation or a vasectomy are in order. It’s all interrelated. You better cover both bases… Just in case.</p>
