I got TMJ this past november after having my mouth open too long at the dentist and had similar problems to what you are having. Not sure what type of TMJ you have or how severe it is... I tore muscles and pulled all ligaments on the left side of my face. Subsequently I had to take a month and a half off (for some it may be more or less). Just like any other part of your body, it needs time to heal and playing can cause more aggrevation (and can be very painful). I wear splints at night that I obtained from a TMJ specialist. If you do not have insurance this could be quite costly. As a musician you need to think long term, even if you have important things coming up. Try to get out of obligations and do what is best for you right now. Good luck!
