Arthritis in the Jaw?!


Question: Arthritis in the Jaw!?
I have had this habit going on for a couple of years now where i click my Jaw, and i only do it when I'm concentrating and or watching T!.V or getting tired so i don't do it all day long but for a couple of hours a day!. And now i am getting worried that i may cause Arthritis in my Jaw!. Can this be possible!? My jaw can sometimes ache a bit but not that often!.
Can anyone shed any light in this at all!?
Thank you!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had it for decades!.!.!.eventually putting it down to grinding of teeth when asleep!.

Drastic I know but some teeth were lost and guess what!.!.!.the problem stopped!. And I no longer have it!. A dentist or consultant can sometimes offer treatment but as has been suggested it can disappear on it's own!.

Its a more common ailment than many realise!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
