For my tmj problem are after x ray shows my jaw joint are almost right position and my tmj doctor (dentist) said to me for starting the next treatment with some exercise but then now I feel from outside that my cheek muscle or jaw muscle are tight when I open my mouth and I feel pain so what I can do for it?

Hello lybrate-user always please listen to your doctor whenever anything related to the treatment is told to you. If your muscle or cheeks feel tense due to stretching or performing exercise; that means that there is something which is not normal with your facial muscular system. And there is tensity of the muscles. Still if you have pain while performing facial muscular exercise. You can do, hot fomentation.
