Anyone jump with major TMJ issues, headaches,ear pain,ect. If so how has it effected your jumping and have you taken any precautions when jumping?



I'm a dentist who does work in the TMJ field. PM if you want specific advice.

I was treated for it as a kid.

Too much camera helmet/chincupage in one day makes my face hurt quite a bit. Other than that I don't really notice any effects from it.

That would be one of my best jump stories! I think it was my first or second jump at a new DZ. Went out and did a horny gorilla with a friend. I laughed and screamed so much that I ended up with lockjaw in freefall. Under canopy I thought I'd be able to relax enough...but no such luck. Landed and hoped that I could find Doc or Ladydiver before anyone else saw. Nope....loud mouth TM saw me first. It has been hard to live that one down. :$

I've had horrible TMJ most of my life. I had a Cookie open face that I guess pushed on just the right spot on my jar. Needless to say I didn't wear it often.

When I used to wear a heavy, tight-fitting camera helmet, I slipped in a boxer's mouth guard before clamping down the cin strap.
