It may be due to arthritis only.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that , this can be due to arthritis involving temporomandibular joint and swelling may be due to inflammation due to active disease .

I think you need to take antiinflammatories and your drug dosage needs to be adjusted for athritis activity.

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
