Extremely depressed today [View all]

Jaw is popping from TMJ. Insurance won't cover treatment. I could be looking at a small fortune.

I asked the dentist could I potentially have ear problems and clicking the rest of my life. He was honest and said yes. I'm 58

Feel really down and angry about this. Hoping treatment will help. Don't want to spend A ton of money for no improvement
