TMJ surgery?

I am planning on have surgery for my TMJ. After doing some reading up on others experiences, I have found that it did not work for them or it just made things worse. I am having enough pain on my own now. headaches, nerve and muscle pain in my face and gums. That is not even when I move my jaw. I have tried every mouth piece that I could fine and all of them just made it worse. I am on pain meds for all of this but it seems not to work as well lately.

I am wondering if anyone knows the success rate of this surgery?

    I had TMJ surgery and it was successful. I feel perfectly normal.

    No side effects. No pain.
