I have been suffering for years from OA in the jaw joint. My doctor is now telling me that it's time for a total joint replacement, and I'm a little nervous. It there anyone out there that's suffering with this. I'd like to hear your story, especially if you've gone through the total joint replacement. I have visions of looking like some bad villian from an old James Bond movie after the surgery and really need to hear that it's not that way.

By the way, because I suffer from OA in the jaw, I have to battle my insurance company for every procedure to be covered because they automatically assume that the diagnosis in TMJ syndrome instead of OA. Does anyone go through this too?

Thanks to anyone that can help!
