On the 21st (Saturday) at 9:55 PM, EBS will broadcast ‘What if a sound comes from your chin? When you suspect arthritis!’ The episode is broadcast. EBS is a new concept medical broadcast where Korea’s top health experts gather to present customized solutions such as medical diagnosis, exercise, and diet.
△ What if the sound and pain start from the ‘temporomandibular joint’ where chewing, tearing, opening, and speaking occur?
The temporomandibular joint, the movement of which is not normally easily recognized, literally moves non-stop 24 hours a day, including when eating, talking, yawning, laughing or breathing, and grinding teeth while sleeping. This is why everyday life becomes difficult when you hear a sound or feel pain when your temporomandibular joint moves. However, it is also a common symptom, with 1 in 3 people experiencing a clicking sound in their temporomandibular joint. Should I go to the hospital if I hear a noise? In most cases, curiosity is momentarily ignored. As a result, temporomandibular joint disorder is a disease in which many patients come to the hospital only after it has worsened. If temporomandibular joint disorder, which starts from sound, is left untreated, the disc in the jaw may fall out or become inflamed, and in the worst case scenario, the bone may melt, leading to an artificial joint surgery. Before temporomandibular joint disorders that start with small noises ruin your life, you must listen to the sounds and pain signals sent from the temporomandibular joints.
△ Arthritis in the jaw? “If you can’t open your mouth, you can’t get emergency surgery.”
Intaek In (age 58) began experiencing noise and pain in his temporomandibular joint 15 years ago. After a 2-3 minute massage, the pain went away quickly and I didn’t think it was a big deal, but one day the pain got worse and I couldn’t open my mouth beyond a certain size. I can’t even eat lettuce wrap in my mouth, and I can’t even yawn comfortably. Unable to bear it any longer, Intaek visits the hospital and receives the shocking diagnosis that he has arthritis in his jaw joint. Moreover, if you open your mouth just a little like now, you will hear a scary warning that you may not be able to undergo surgery that requires airway intubation in an emergency situation.
△ “I ate only porridge for 1 year and 8 months.” Temporomandibular joint disorder that takes away the pleasure of eating
Sook-kyung Jeong (age 58), who says that it is difficult to chew a single grain of rice or a strand of raw radish because her jaw hurts, has been eating only soft-textured foods such as soft bamboo rice, tofu, and eggs for one year and eight months. Since I feel pain as soon as I chew food that is even the slightest bit hard and chewy, I grate the apples I like and eat them soaked in milk. Even if you make kimchi, you can’t eat a piece of radish. I have been saving my jaw joint by not using it as much as possible for over a year and eight months, but the pain in my left jaw has now spread to my right side. Fearing that she would have to live the rest of her life without being able to eat anything she wanted, Sook-kyung went to the hospital and received a shocking diagnosis that the actions she had taken to improve her temporomandibular joint had actually caused her to lose the use of her jaw.
△ After eating squid and squid every day,,, “The disc in my jaw joint fell out.”
Lee Da-hyeon (37 years old), who had suffered from bad jaw joints since childhood, visited the hospital when she was in middle school, but was diagnosed with a small jaw and ignored the noise and pain for over 20 years. As a result, the sound and pain became chronic, and even though the pain came from eating tough squid and hard squid, I just passed it on. Now that I am raising two children, the thing I always look for before scissors in urgent situations is teeth. Use this to tear off children’s hair elastics or toy vinyl that won’t come off. I know that bad habits are bad for the jaw joint, but they are not easy to break. As the pain in the temporomandibular joint worsens with each passing year and brushing one’s teeth becomes difficult, he visits the hospital and receives shocking test results showing that he has a herniated disc.
△ No more ‘chin resting’, a habit that was bothering your jaw. A new habit to protect your jaw joint, ‘chin stretching’.
