Hi Doc,

->Now i am having more poping and crepetious sound in tmj and pain and pressure in my jaw,throat and also headaches.
->When i put my little finger in my ear canal and close my jaw i feel my left condyle coming further back and hitting my finger and makes a sound like when we crack our finger...
Is this tmd? I am so much scared will this heal..I didnt have any kind of tmd before extraction. Pleasee help.
