Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.


Thanks for your query . the symptoms you mention in query seems to occur because of two reasons .

- Dislocation of TMJ . Dislocation occur due to many reasons but the most common reason for dislocation is wide opening of mouth while yawning , singing or shouting .

- Secondly it can be due to slip disc of TMJ , which can occur due to wrong movement of jaw .

If they recommend you to smoke pot then there must be clenching problem also which due to stress and anxiety . Well if they prescribe you medically then smoking pot will no longer remains illegal. It help many patient with such disorder.


I would suggest you to consult oral surgeon also for proper evaluation . Doctor may order X-ray , MRI or CT scan to find out exact cause . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory drug to relive the symptoms .

He /she may also consider surgery if needed.


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
