TMJ pain switched side: good or bad sign?

Posted , 2 users are following.

For years my jaw pain was focused in my right side but since yesterday it has been mainly on the left. I expect it to return later to the usual side, but now I wonder if that is a good or bad thing at all.

    hello

    i think it might be good because more even? My tmj is caused by tooth grinding and clenching. I think when my bad patches were on the way out, I started getting it on both sides. Which really depressed me, but then things improved.
