<human>: I have a problem with TMJ and have not been able to eat for about 4 weeks. I put everything in the blender. Chicken, Veggie, Rice, ect. I believe that I have a balance diet , but all my food is liquified. Not have soar gums. Is it because I am not eating normally? In other words, not chewing my food and just gulping it down because it is blended.
<bot>: Hi, you are suffering from TMJ joint pain due to which you are unable to chew food properly. There are many exercises which can be taught by a physiotherapist to relax the muscles, you can also apply hot packs over the joint area, can also take some good muscle relaxants. Visit a good physiotherapist to learn exercises and get routine checkup done regularly by dentist. Avoid opening your mouth too wide. Take care
