Summary: Pain

Has anybody else had any experience with TMJ pain... aka temporo mandibular
joint syndrome... this is the joint between your jaw and your skull which
articulates just in front of your ears... I have had this type of pain, and
it can be very annoying, if not scary... I think that it is supposed to be
related to tension and stress, but I also think that it may be related to
having had orthodontics at one time or another... I have seen several different
medical types... ENT men, dentists, etc., but none of them seem to have any
answers... it's either "in your head", or is "nothing to worry about"... easy
enough for them to say, eh?  You are the one who has to live with it...

	Thanks,
