I had it to the point I would just sit and cry. What the ENT doctor did for me was have me wear one of the plastic covers like you can buy now to put the tooth whitener in. Get you one of those and wear it at night. It allows your teeth to glide smoothly over each other and stops the grinding which in turn makes the TMJ worse. It can be particularly caused by stress. After a few months of sleeping in the guard, it never returned, and this was back in the 80s.
