Persistent pain in the TMJ, which had worsened significantly over the last week.
Cracking sounds while moving the jaw.

However, she was informed that even surgery might not guarantee a cure. -*Frustrated and helpless, she had been relying on painkillers three times a day, which offered only temporary relief.*
Although skeptical about homeopathy, she approached Dr. Ravi after witnessing the successful treatment of her children at the clinic.
