Pain killer is not the same as anti-inflammatory tablets. Pain
killer like panadol, panadeine etc and they don't have
anti-inflammatory stuffs in it. Some pain killers do and neurofen
is one. Ask the chemists about it.
My hubby has got TMJ too, and once you got that, it doesn't go
away. It just comes and go. Unless you fix your jaw which is going
to cost quite a bit.
