    Tj, I too have TMJ. I don't have the vitek replacement but have had total of 18 surgeries done. There are some really good groups for support on yahoogroups.com as well as a new one on Google. I hope you can get the support you need. There are many suffering from the effects of this insidious disease. Hope this helps you some.

    Take care. NielpaSmile
