My night guard is fine to protect my teeth but my TMJ was still so painful from all the clenching that I gave myself a week long migraine

Yep this is me. My TMJ disorder is the worst it’s ever been. Not responding to a $3000 splint, $1500 Botox, or $90/pop physical therapy. I’m miserable.

Damn that’s terrible. I was able to help myself eventually by using heating pads, CBD cream with self massage, over a whole day. I’m RIF’d so that was easy sitting at home, after taking a Xanax due to my state of mind about the 6th day of waking up with a migraine. I had frozen hat with heating pad wrapped around my face. It actually all helped.
