I have tmj and when mine gets bad I take baby aspirin.

I’ve had it for years, was diagnosed at 15. I take tylenol or ibuprofen for the pain. I haven’t found a dr here that will do surgery for it, so I literally just deal with the pain. I also tried PT and that didnt work for me either. Good luck

Online there’s some on YouTube some excellent exercises to help with TMJ it keeps me up all night sometimes

I deal with the same thing but I get it on both sides. It might hurt but I get the pain to go away by trying my best to move my jaw around and work out the pain. Or I simply chew/suck on ice because I don’t like taking things like Tylenol or ibuprofen
