CarnivalOfPeace asked:
I have TMJD, and I wear a mouth splint every night to combat the bruxism. But lately, my jaw has been excruciatingly painful. I don’t want to be continuously taking painkillers because I’m only 15 and I don’t want to damage my liver, are there any other ways of dealing with the pain? It’s getting to the point where it interferes with day-to-day activities and I just want to lie down and sleep it off.
Ah yes, but codeine is highly addictive!
