Thanks Learian:

Yes I have he disagrees and I respect both of them so much.

This is so hard. The surgeon that says do the Mitek Anchors
(TMJ surgery) says other surgeons (except one other surgeon
he trained who teaches at Boston University) do not do
simultaneous MMA and the TMJ surgery if indicated. I asked the
TMJ top surgeon if it could be done after MMA and he said no.
I asked another TMJ surgeon who does just TMJ and he
supports the TMJ surgery and this surgeon and said the TMJ is
the foundation of the jaw. This surgeon only does TMJ. So I
talked to another TMJ doctor who does not believe in TMJ and
he said do not do TMJ. What I do not understand is why the
surgeon that says to do the TMJ would take a 30% risk on me if
he did not believe it to be necessary. I have I move quickly I can
not work and every day of sleep deprevation is so pain full. I am
sure it will kill me.
