Question: My jaw is stuck!.!.!. Help me!.!.!.!?
Ok i woke up the other day and the top right part of my jaw, where the hinge is hurt really bad and i could only open my mouth like 2 inches!.
i figured i slept wrong and dealt with it!. well now its two days later and i cant open it more than half an inch and it just stops!. if i try to stretch it, it hurts really bad!. I don't know whats wrong and i have no insurance!.
i have a wisdom tooth coming in that part of my mouth right by my hinge could that have something to do with it!.

Answers:
It could be TMJ!.

To unlock that, assume the thinking pose with your fist clasped firmly under your jaw and try to open your mouth a bit!.

Do not hurt yourself!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's TMJ Syndrome ( Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome )

Do you grind or clench your teeth!? TMJ is caused when the disk of cartilage between your jaw bone and cranium is worn down!. ( Caused by teeth grinding )

Go to your dentist, he/she will give you a mouth guard , it will stop you from grinding and clenching your teeth and eventually it will stop hurting!.

Dont try and open it, dont grind or clench your teeth more just go to the dentist!!

it could be tmj!. i think i have tmj because this happened to me too!.

i woke up and my jaw was caught on the right side!. the right side of my jaw always popped because i have an overbite and my jaw is over to the right more!.

i couldnt open my jaw that wide and i was really scared!.

but after a few days, i could open my jaw!. but is still kinda hurt!.

i still have an overbite that is getting fixed now!.

and the right side of my jaw doesnt pop anymore and my orthordontist said that my jaw moved a little bit!.

so i guess that my jaw is so bad that it locked while it was moving!.

im guessing that the tmj was getting fixed or i have tmj!.

so odds are it could be tmj!. i would get it checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
