You can switch to a tricyclic related to Flexeril like amitriptyline and push the dose of that for relief. Please ask the TMJ specialist what he thinks of the behavioral approach with physical exercise, relaxation exercises, meditation, etc. Watch the Stanford University Health TMJ youtube so you go into your appointment informed instead of misinformed.

I really like the Queen Rose, from Amazon, for about $45. It has helped me quite a bit.

Do these exercise 6 times a day until you start feeling better. Literally start to finish even tho they seem dorky. It will loosen that muscle which has tightened due to clenching. This started for me about 3 months ago. Now I do the exercises once a day but on days I take adderall/etc I do it more than once because I can feel my jaw clench. Also get some magnesium to start taking regularly. It will keep you from clenching too much. Rub the muscle that runs along your jaw regularly and be conscious not to let your teeth touch through out the day. Also get a night mouth guard. I got this pack and used the thick one and it works well.

Daily I try to stretch multiple times (morning before work, before lunch break, after work), and when it's too bad I go to a masseuse.
I'm going to purchase this, hopefully it'll help too.

I have a water pillow (linked below) that has totally changed my life. I’ve had it for over a year and it works wonders. It was studied at Johns Hopkins and is clinically proven to reduce neck pain.

I’m a severe bruxer and my physiatrist gives me Botox injections to stop the grinding and trigger point injections for neck and back pain. All of this (plus night guards) has helped immensely. I hope you can find some relief!

I bought these mouth guards and didn't have a problem molding any of them using the box instructions. I've also spent $400 twice on "specialty" mouth guards from my dentist and I've seen no real difference in my TMJ pain between them and the $20 ones.

With all that said mouth guards in general can be sort of hit or miss when it comes to TMJ pain. You should find out what's causing the pain first. If it's clenching then try molding a guard that prevents you from being able to clench. If it's overuse, soft food and warm massaging with ibuprofen is a good cheap start. I don't think medicaid or any kind of insurance covers TMJ stuff as I found out myself unfortunately :(
