Has anyone here done much inj's for TMJ with either U/S or Fluoro?
Any info would be great

Used to do plenty, but they were never too successful and did not change outcomes. FLuoro and blind. Now I do SPG and gasserian for those folks. Plus, I have Gary Bouloux at Emory who is a "Guru" in TMJ. He replaces parts that are worn out or that don't fit. I think ost of the time he is fixing someone elses work.

Really, gasserians for TMJ? Seems like a high risk procedure for this problem. I had not thought of that. Does it provide decent relief? Seems TMJ joint injections work well for me, usually steroid, sometimes prolo or PRP.
I do not get to see the FMS of the face type of TMJ. I only see post surgical folks. I was unimpressed with benefit of more than 3-4 weeks with ia steroids and never found useful meds. Now I get to see the folks post-op 6+months out to wean opiates and come up with other ideas. Sphenopalatine, gasserian, and pns are the only things not previously done. They have all had ia ink, Botox, and bite plates.
