Chronic TMJ Pain
Hello, doctor,
I am suffering from chronic TMJ and experiencing a lot of pain in my jaw and ear. I am wearing a soft TMJ splint made by my maxillofacial surgeon, but even after wearing it for 2 months, I am not seeing any results. I am a NEET aspirant, so next month is my exam, but due to this immense pain, I cannot focus on my studies. Hot and cold compressions decrease the pain but only for some time. Only painkillers (NSAIDs) reduce the pain significantly. However, I have heard that NSAIDs cause kidney problems if taken for a long time. So, I want to know, is it safe to consume any painkiller for straight one month? Is there any other alternative safe medicine that I can take for reducing the pain? I don't want my exam to be affected by my pain. Please help me. Thank you.

Earlier there was minor cavity and doctor did composite filling, 3 days back when I was eating my filling came out (no pain) then I visited same doctor and she clean and said minor tooth also came and did GIC filling as drilling and gap resulted to be close to pulp.
I feel no pain at that time and after but day after it cause pain so I decided to take medicine pain reliever and it is working along side I m putting sensodine toothpaste as well around teeth, After brushing.
Could you please review and let me know would it be normal to have pain I believe it would be due to nerve irritation if be. Would situation improve. I have gic filling to my wisdom teeth as well (done 3 year back) no pain and can see from xray that even close to pulp.
What would the next step I should take...wanna avoid RCT...would the pain subside by week do I wait for week?
