Often jaw problems resolve on their own in several weeks to months. If you have recently experienced TMJ pain and/or dysfunction, you may find relief with some or all of the following therapies.

Moist Heat. Moist heat from a heat pack or a hot water bottle wrapped in a warm, moist towel can improve function and reduce pain. Be careful to avoid burning yourself when using heat.
Ice. Ice packs can decrease inflammation and also numb pain and promote healing. Do not place an ice pack directly on your skin. Keep the pack wrapped in a clean cloth while you are using it. Do not use an ice pack for more than 10 - 15 minutes.
Soft Diet. Soft or blended foods allow the jaw to rest temporarily. Remember to avoid hard, crunchy, and chewy foods. Do not stretch your mouth to accommodate such foods as corn on the cob, apples, or whole fruits.
Over the-Counter Analgesics. For many people with TMJ Disorders, short-term use of over-the-counter pain medicines or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as ibuprofen, may provide temporary relief from jaw discomfort. When necessary, your dentist or doctor can prescribe stronger pain or anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or antidepressants to help ease symptoms.
Jaw Exercises. Slow, gentle jaw exercises may help increase jaw mobility and healing. Your health care provider or a physical therapist can evaluate your condition and suggest appropriate exercises based on your individual needs. A recent study found therapeutic jaw exercises bring earlier recovery of jaw function compared to splints! Click here to read the specific jaw exercises used in this study.
Relaxation Techniques. Relaxation and guided imagery can be helpful in dealing with the pain that accompanies TMJ dysfunction. Deep, slow breathing enhances relaxation and modulates pain sensations. Some have found yoga, massage, and meditation helpful in reducing stress and aiding relaxation.
Side Sleeping. Sleep on your side using pillow support between shoulder and neck.
Relax Facial Muscles. Make a concerted effort to relax your lips, and keep teeth apart.
Yawning. Use your fist to support your chin as you yawn to prevent damage to the joint and prevent your jaw from locking open.
In addition, avoid:

Jaw clenching.
Gum chewing.
Cradling the telephone, which may irritate jaw and neck muscles.

Fibro patients usually have tmd , initially , not tmj . My neuro ( mayo grad) told me to press on the trigger spot of the muscle and it usually releases . He wrote me three times yesterday when I had an attack . So sweet . Other times when the trigeminal nerves were involved, he sent me to a jaw therapist for several weeks . She showed me to place your thumb of your opposing hand inside way up against the joint . Press up and down there then move down around the gums to the front . . Really hurts but that’s what she did to help it plus neck massages.

Several years ago, i went thru a time with TMJ. Awful time; so very painful. I needed to go to a special dentist where they did ultrasound on my jaw, ice packs. I had been taking a prescription for my bone density, which i had to stop taking. ** For some people, the drug that helps your bones, causes TMJ.** After i stopped taking that drug, the TMJ eased up. I hope helps; God bless you.
