I've suffered with tmj disorder for 14 years, since a serious mva. In my case, after several mouth appliances, 3 surgeries and years of physio, it has not gone away. One surgeon I saw years ago said that I would "never live pain free" and I agree. But, there are many treatments that are effective in helping you cope - botox injections to prevent muscle spasm, eating a proper soft-food diet, etc. And, a chronic pain support group may help you to understand what's happening. My fingers are crossed for you!
