    He will probably make a mouthguard for you to wear.

    You should get relief with that within a week or so.

    I doubt he would prescribe painkillers.

    I've had these problems as well, and pain meds aren't really the best solution. They're temporary, and especially with TMJ Disorder, it's very easy to get hooked.

    Try some of these exercises; they may help out

    Good luck!
