Suggest Medication For TMJ

I am a TMJ sufferer and have just within the last 2 weeks or so have encountered pain that I have never experienced and do not know what to do. I have two different spints, all types of drugs and nothing seems to work. What would you recommend that would work the best?

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The best medicine for the TMJ disorder is piroxicam tablets 20mg twice daily on first day and once daily for next 6days(if you are not allergic). do not open your mouth too wide, do not take hard food, even while yawning support your jaw. if the tablet does not work then you can try orthocentesis(intraarticular lavage with saline or autologous blood).
consult a oral physician and get it done. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
