I had a left TMJ Hemiarthroplasty operation 3 weeks ago. I have to say that so far the recovery has been painful, uncomfortable and upsetting at times, but it is definatly a recovery! You can tell on an almost daily basis that things are improving. Surgery like this is going to leave you sore, there's no doubt about that, but just keep yourself topped up with painkillers and you'll be fine! The upsetting part is perhaps more to do with me than the actual op, I live on my own so had to deal with the not being able to sleep and the pain by myself. The scar is extremely neat, and everyone who has seen it has commented on how tidy it looks and one my poor hair grows back (lol) you'll not be able to see my pretty '?' shaped scar!! lol
