I have a problem with TMJ and have not been able to eat for about 4 weeks. I put everything in the blender. Chicken, Veggie, Rice, ect. I believe that I have a balance diet , but all my food is liquified. Not have soar gums. Is it because I am not eating normally? In other words, not chewing my food and just gulping it down because it is blended.
Hi, you are suffering from TMJ joint pain due to which you are unable to chew food properly. There are many exercises which can be taught by a physiotherapist to relax the muscles, you can also apply hot packs over the joint area, can also take some good muscle relaxants. Visit a good physiotherapist to learn exercises and get routine checkup done regularly by dentist. Avoid opening your mouth too wide. Take care
