- What is causing the pain?
- Is there something seriously wrong?
- How can I get relief?
- Will I ever feel pain free again?
- How drastic is the treatment to provide relief?
- How long will treatment be?
In my practice and as a director of a TMD – Facial Pain Clinic, I continually deal with people suffering from chronic pain- from moderate to unbearable pain. Often they have suffered and searched for answers for months or even years. Some have seen several physicians or dentists previously and have been treated for a variety of misdiagnosed ailments. They come asking:
These people suffer from "the great imposter", an ailment that mimics in symptoms a number of other diseases. Despite the fact that is very common, most people are just beginning to learn about TM disorders and to understand its causes and treatment.
In order
to answer the questions, allay fears, educate sufferers, and also
their family, and friends, and assure you that there is hope for
most people, I have written this section of the web site.
I hope it will help you to understand and overcome the fears of
TM Disorders.
