TMJ 2nd opinion

I'm really down about this expensive, non insured tmj. Just had some slight pain on the right. Didn't have any pain before. I really cannot afford this. $300 for the 2nd opinion and $700 for a 2nd scan. I've no idea what to do at this point. I weaned off the 6700-dollar splints and had to start using the day one again. I cannot stand this

Find a chiropractor that includes TMJ in his/her practice. Treatment is done in seconds with an activator. You may need a second treatment, depending on the inflammation. Eat only soft foods for a week or so to avoid increasing the inflam.
