Answers:
You insulted your temporal mandible joint or the TMJ!. Did you bite down on something a little bit too hard!? Did you get hit in the head by an errant basketball!?
Did you fall and hit your face!?
Facial injuries will also include an insulted TMJ - I fell off my bicycle a few years ago, landing on my face!. Thank God for the helmet! My jaw got slammed and it hurt and I couldn't chew on the left side for a couple of months!. (I had to have several stitches on the bottom of my chin)
Eat something a bit to hard!? I once bit on a dry piece of rice, it slipped and my jaw got knocked out of joint for a couple of weeks!. My dentist gave me a bite guard that helped put my jaw back in alignment!.
Many more years ago I got hit in the back of the head by an errant basketball!. That too knocked my jaw out of joint for about a week!.
Are you under a lot of stress and clenching your jaws in response!? That can insult the TMJ too!
See your dentist for a an exam if this has been going on for a few days as you have said!.
He may prescribe a muscle relaxant and a bite guard to help get your jaw back in line!.
TMJ problems are not a major health issue!. TMJ problems often go away on their own, but sounds like you may need some medical intervention!.
BTW, tetanus would include high fever and other muscle and joint pain!.!.!.!.!.If you had tetanus you would not be writing questions here!
Heat and ice on the jaw will also ease things as well!.
Good luck and don't panic!Www@Answer-Health@Com

you probably got the case of TMJ!.
sometimes, it can go away by itself, depending how bad your jaw is!.
but i recommend you should go see a doctor and what they will do is they're gonna either force your jaw back into its place or loosen the muscles surrounding the temporal bone and mandible (around the jaw joint) by giving you a shot!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The word Lockjaw is actually an old name for Tetanus and there is a reason doctors are always wanting to know when you've had your last tetanus shot!. The disease is fatal!. Where the hell are your parents during all this!? If my kids jaw did that I'd have him at the clinic before he could hiccup! Www@Answer-Health@Com
you need to see a doctor ASAP! "Lockjaw", also known as Tetanus, is usually caused when you step on a rusty nail, for example!. You probably need a tetanus shot, and the sooner you get treatment, the better! Www@Answer-Health@Com
