What have I done to my Jaw!?
Amonth ago my jaw started clicking when i opened my mouth or moved it side to side then one day i opened it and it locked then the following evening it locked again and it hurt after wards for a while it locked three more times the following day and is constantly clicking when i move it and also hurts a bit
Then it has started with a grinding/grating noise when i move my jaw sideways as well as a popping sort of clicking noise but i can open it as wide as usual it used to just be n the left side but today i have noticed aching and grinding on the right side of my jaw too!.
i was thinkng it culd be my wisdom teeth but it didnt start off as a tooth or mouth ache but since last nite my right back tooth started aching and my whole jaw aches now but not all the time just from time to time!. When i eat anysort of food it clicks and often locks!.
also when pressure is applied to tmj joint and i try to open it it locks!. also when i look down and try to open it, and when im lying on my back and i try to open it, it locks!.
anyone know what culd be wrong!?
It constantly aches and clicks, when it locks i move my bottom jaw to the right then to the middle (when it clicks when it goes out and back again its unlocked)
Often I try to open it and it locks and when i try to move my bottom jaw out and back in again(using my muscles) i hear a sort of airy, watery sound and it takes a long time to get unlocked again
I went to the doctors and they sed go to the dentists so im waiting for that appointment!.
any help wuld be realli appreciated
