I suffer from TMJ I work in sales so I'm always stressed and talking which have aggravated my TMJ to flare up more often. I get a tight jaw, facial pain, earache, stiff shoulder and neck and worst of all horrible migraines that last for days. Not only has TMJ affected my health but I've noticed my jaw line isn't very strong I naturally have a round face but I never had a double chin and weak jaw line like I do now. Will. Botox help cosmetically as well as helping my pain?
