    Default OUCH!!! My jaw hurts!

    It's very, very sore on my right side if I try to open my mouth past a certain point... this has been going on for about 3-4 days. This morning, that same side makes distict popping or grinding sounds depending on how I move it.

    What could it be? I huuuuurrrrt! Bummer is, I can't see a doc until the end of the month when my insurance kicksminto effect

    Have you slept on it much? Perhaps TMJ? Is it popping when you open it as far as you can? I will get that at times and my ears pop too. My jaw will kinda feel stiff. But it goes away. I thought i was sleeping on it.

    Yes, the popping happens when I open my mouth as wide as I can... I don't think it could be from sleeping on it since I sleep on my back or leftside.

    You might be grinding your teeth in your sleep. I used to do it, and my jaw would pop when I tried to open my mouth and it hurt to chew stuff. My dentist made me a mouthguard, but you can also buy them otc. This was like 7 years ago and in my case it was caused by stress, but I wore the mouthguard for a couple months and it went away. But then again I got divorced and my stress went away as well!

    Yup, it sounds like TMJ. I've had it for the past 10 years. Never did anything to get rid of or control it though. I hear clicking or crunching noises when when I open my mouth wide as well. It's not painful unless I intentionally crack my jaw. Eww.

    Dentists have some sort of mouth piece that is designed to help those with TMJ. You might want to look into it.

    Omg, I thought I was the only one who had this! It's been years. I can move my jaw and make a slight crunching/popping sound, but never knew what it was.

    Yup. And if it gets so bad that you cannot open your mouth you'll need surgery so as soon as insurance kicks in go see the dentist.

    On a side note: It never affected my money making skills....

    A really good, experienced massage therapist MAY be able to give you some relief, whether it's full-blown TMJ or not. Some can even do effective intra-oral work that is pretty incredible. But experience is a MUST - I can't stress that enough. Don't go with anyone fresh out of school, even by a few years.

    I've had this since i had neck surgery about 6 years ago.
    Once, when I was taking alot of speed I got lockjaw and couldn't open or close it, this finally went away after not being able to eat for 3 days. All I did was try to relax, had a massage and went to the mineral spa and had an aromatherapy soak, stuff like that, oh and painkillers.\
    But for the existing problem I've had a chiropractor try to re-align the mandible ([email protected]#king ouch!) and more recently had a wisdom tooth removed which seemed to be doing something for a while but it's back to it's old clicky self now. I guess I'm kind of used to it but people tend to get really annoyed with the constant clicking, and it hurts in the cold, but with old fractures in my zygomatic bone the whole left side of my face hurts in the cold anyway.
    Try taking some nsaid's and seeing a dentist when you can, and keep the area warm. If you find something that fixes this (with a least amount of pain) let me know, I'm sick of it.

    Crap, I was hoping my symptoms weren't too TMJish... My salon doesn't offer dental. If anybody has had a mouthpeice made, do you mind sharing how much it cost?

    Also, I figured out my clicking happens when I stick my lower jaw out (like I have an underbite), not so much when I open wide... the latter just hurts like a mofo. The good news is chewing isn't uncomfortable for me.

    I had a mouth piece made for my TMJ/teeth grinding problem. It looks just like those invisalign braces. My dental insurance paid for half. My costs were about $150 I belive...maybe a little less. It was really worth it...it helped so much. Before I started wearing my mouthguard at night my jaw hurt all the time. Maybe try purchasing a cheap one and the drug store first to see if it helps any. Only the dentisit can tell you if this is really the problem. Do you clench you jaw when you are stressed? I do this all the time and have to be aware when I am doing it so I can stop. I hope you feel better soon! I know how uncomfortable jaw pain is!!

    ^^^thanks, Ava... I don't think I'm a clencher, I never catch myself doing it... I'm going to wait it out another week... if it doesn't get better, I'll try a cheapie mouthpeice.
