TMJ sucks ass

Holy shit this condition is annoying. It started around 3 months ago. Over the course of 3 days it suddenly hurt like hell inside my ear canal when I opened my moutH. What I thought was an ear infection was actually tmj. The next month I was in excruciating pain if I ate food, yawned or anything that stretched my jaw.
Month two the pain was still there, but not as bad. Like 1/3 of what it was. I could eat, but still annoying.
I am on month three and pain is pretty much gone (but some days it does come back). The worst part is feeling your jaw out of alignment. it's such a shit feeling when your jaw obviously isn't "hooked up right"....or at least feels that waY.
Just thought I would share, in case anyone else struggles with this down the line. I recently bought a custom made mouth guard from amazon for $100. I'll let you know if any improvement

I have no idea. I cracked my tooth on an olive pit and around the time the dentist started work on my crown....shaving the tooth down, it kind of showed up. Maybe it was that.
I also clench my teeth at night and sleep on my stomach with my arm under my head. That supposedly is suspicious as well and is believed by some to cause it (the sleeping position). But it has also been linked to grinding or clenching.
Using tobacco may be a factor as well
Whatever caused it, its been 3 months and while it has definitely improved....its definitely still there

I have some form of TMJ disorder myself. I have been dealing with it for over a decade now.
Its at its worst when I wake up every morning.. My jaw will be all tense until I'm able to pop both sides of my jaw to loosen the joint.
Luckily (so far) I haven't had toooo much pain with it. But the jaw tension in the mornings is very uncomfortable. Although I've had a few weeks throughout the years which my jaw was very sore and aching. Been awhile though *knock on wood*
Edit: 420th post! I'm proud to say I'm heavily stoned right now too.
