I believe my chronic pain is all from TMJ and bad posture. When I do exercises to fix my posture I get pain from my TMJ down to really tight pelvis and thighs. So everything in between also. I’ve been stuck trying to figure out what to do to help myself. And of course, my spinal tap came back clean and yet I’m still dealing with complications from it.

I’m going to a physical therapy session with someone who does posture restoration and I’m really hoping it can help. I’ve found tests they do on YouTube to figure out what exercises are best for you and I struggle with all of them that I’ve found meaning my body is doing exactly what it would be doing due to bad posture and pelvis alignment issues.

It gives me hope that maybe I can start activating the muscles that aren’t working and hopefully in turn start to feel better. Everything I’ve seen on YouTube about them is exactly what I’m feeling. They keep in mind dental/jaw issues with all of this.

I know it’s a low chance someone here has heard of this or has chronic pain due to TMJ and posture issues but I’m curious
