TMJD after zygomatich complex repositoin - i'm depressed - pain
« on: February 07, 2016, 03:54:54 PM »
First symptoms started one month ago

I spent all my money for my surgery.
The TMJD I got from deviated jaw...
the deviated jaw is probably due to masseter muscle problem, but this is probably due to overcorrection

My surgeon tells me im hist first patient with such problem
I told him , that perhaps I'm the first one with specific asymmetry, and as far he was lucky about giving all people perfect symmetry in midface
He dropped my idea. I asked him to push back my zygoma bone little back to get what I had originally before fracture.
Now my cheek has more prominence, than originally
He gave me almost perfect symmetry to my midface, while my jaw is assymetric - i think there is a problem
He told me to take pain killers

But it's signal my TM joints are being damaged. The more i wait the worse irreversible damage.

tomorrow I'm going to to Hospital , but they are gonna kick me out , because they told me to not undergo such surgery.
However they were worried only about my eye. I do not have any eye problem. Completely unexpected problem

But for 99% they won't help me in hospital. I won't get help from NHS
an i do not have money for private clinic :/

I'm f**ked and terribly depressed
I chose wrong surgeon

The problem is it' getting worse, not better , so waiting will not change

I hope since it's 10 weeks after surgery they still can rebreake my bone.... to not perform full osteotomy (more invasive)
but i have bad feelings...

I'm terribly f**ked
at this point I regret  i chose my surgeon, especially when he said he did not touch my jaw, only zygomatic bone
 of course he is right,  but betwenn zygomatic bone and jaw there is masseter muscle.. so changing position of zygoma, automatically muscle change its position

Perhaps my surgeon crossed some critical points where it does not work


"I did not touch your jaw" 
before surgery i had good occlusion

now the jaw is deviated and he tells me its not due to surgery and im his first patient with something like that..  i do not believe... or he has very few patients

i'm so worried that i will never restore my joints when i will be in that state long
i can't eat what i want .. i only drink an eat very soft food
and it's not helpful
i can;t even talk for a longer time

pain from the ears and joints
what did i do...

i need help as fast as possible, but it will be almost impossible to get such help

i end up very badly

I have hope that it's gonna resolve itself, some therapy or something
but i think the main problem is just overcorrection, and physiotherapy wont change anything.. I'm gonn ask some surgeons
but you have to know ...how it's in Poland.  If you go to hospital and tell him you have complications after surgery abroad, and now you can't get help anymore there, they don't care....or will tell you "ok ... we have many patients.we can treat you in 3 years"  :/
after 3 years i will have everything totally damaged

i can;t focus even on my work

so i just hope that after 10 weeks rebreaking is possible, perhaps then they will take me as urgent case
The most painful also is to be aware what TMJD is ... how it's irreversible problem when treated too late

it makes  me so anxious :/

do not what to do

Not a long term solution,  but botox to the massater muscles may alleviate the discomfort.

Do you have a second opinion? The doctor should do a revision.

please read me carefully.  I'm going to hospital now

but for 90% i won't get any help.

the bone was mooved too much horizontally. now I know that. I regret I didn't choose another surgeon, who told me the bone should be moved mostly only forward :/

If it's truly urgent you could take out a loan and visit a private clinic, you seem to know of plenty of surgeons at least.

before it was just in some panics like states due to being in new situation - first surgery in life..not prepared that swelling is so tricky thing
oh Panthom ...no sunken eye ;) for sure

but the deviated jaw and TMJD is real issue now

Can the muscle stretch? Is your bite affected? AFAIK, tmjs have some flexibility themselves.

my jaw is deviated so the... joints kinda twisted... sprain
when you cross some critical point then flexibility can't help


my bite is affected (not so much), but it's the problem with the joints due to deviated jaw

Haha should I tell the name for you? Its a joke rico after you had so much pain and agony in the last two months do recommend him.

Is this Rico a troll or something? The surgeon has messed up his joints and won't help him correct the issue, but he won't say who it is, so people on here can avoid them. But then he'll recommend the surgeon if his issue's resolves even though the surgeon won't do a revision if the surgery goes wrong.

Yes I'm troll

if you were smarter you would know why i can't tell the name of that surgeon. He is not popular. Don't worry. for 99% noone will get to him.

Moreover I will get some examinations in next week, so I can't tell for 100% surgery is botched . I must wait.... no judge without examination
