Court, I have TMJ, and it sucks... It is actually caused by stress and what happens is when you are sleeping you tense your jaw, grind your teeth and the result TMJ. I got it when I was in my early 20's I woke up one morning and could not move my jaw without feeling the worse pain.. I actually went to the dentist first and he gave me some muscle relaxers and fitted me for a mouth piece to sleep with. It worked although I do get flair ups once in a while it has never been as bad as that first time.. I pray your brother will feel better soon... Hang in there kid....

paul cant use chiropractors because he has spina bifida

well, I'd rather NOT take medication if I could avoid it. If a chiropractor can do a few adjustments to his jaw, neck and shoulders, it may just solve his problem in a few visits.

Mine was just in the starting stages, it didn't slip out yet, so not sure if your bro would get the results I did, but it's worth a try!!

o, and you can contract cellulitis from anywhere, not just hospitals. (but it sounds like your bro contracted something from his hospital visit)

Usually it's caused from a rash or a bug bite that has been itched with dirty fingernails and the bacteria infects the skin, creating a horrible inflamed mess.

idk if he still has his wisdomws, he takes meds for him TMJ and it seems to help

Courtney......my chiropractor solved all my 'pre' TMJ stuff, it was great!!
Also, does your brother still have his wisdom teeth? Between the chiropractor and having my wisdom teeth removed, my symptoms disappeared forever.

idk, just a thought :)

sending good thoughts your brothers way, in 3, 2, 1.......

pauls home from the ER they said the same thing they said yesterday, he has cellulitis from unsanitary hosital equipment, but now they said the swelling is causing the blood vessels in his throat to burst which is causing alot of bleeding in his throat

Sorry to hear that Courtney, that TMJ stuff can be tough to deal with. My Mom was plagued with it for many years, her jaw would lock on the left side, and it was torture for her. Dentists, doctors, no one could seem to come up with a solution that worked to ease it. Hope there's some new stuff out there that will help your brother because that type of pain is hard.

Think I read somewhere that they used the botox injections with some success for some. Would definitely google it or check www.webmd.com.

Good luck healing from that piercing. You are braver than I, lol!
