Hi WynterSnow. I also suffer from TMJ and am curious to know whether you were intubated via the mouth for your anaesthesia? I was really worried about causing further problems to my jaw by having my mouth opened for the tube to be inserted and my Anaesthetist said that I could be intubated nasally. I would definitely go with this method again, should I need another GA in the future. I hope you start to feel better soon: I can totally relate to the jaw pain you are having at the moment. Best wishes.

Yes, I was intubated via the mouth, and had a knot on my lip for several days afterward because of it. I informed them of my TMJ beforehand, but they assured me that it would not be a problem. It didn't seem to cause any discomfort, so I guess it was okay.
Thanks for the well wishes. TMJ is a unique sort of ailment.

Noodlehead, don't be a noodlehead. If your Dr. says get to the ER, then get!! You can't sleep, so you might as well be sitting in the ER, with a book or whatever, and wait to be seen. It probably is the gas....but do what your Dr. says. Good luck. Mindy
