how to chew with tmj?

[tristanbongo]

it takes chewing just 1 gum to cause acute pain in tmj lasting for days, but i feel like i cant stop chewing hard things for good.

is there something i can do?

Just wait till it heals (if it does) and chew softer stuff. You’re gonna fuck it up more if you chew hard shit. Give your jaw a break.
