Natural pain relievers that get rid of jaw pain?

I've started having jaw pain in the last couple of years. But it seems to be getting worse. I chew lots of gum which i know has to do with some of the problem. I've started not chewing gum so much but what are some other things I can do to relieve my jaw pain? I've seen a TMJ specialist but they said it wasn't really serious. I really want to get relief from the pain though and Its hard to chew food sometimes too. I've learned to play the saxophone but stopped playing for year and I just recently picked it up and started playing again but now it hurts to much to play because of my jaw pain. I can only play for about five minutes, then its starts hurting and cracking when I open my mouth wide.
