Jaw pains...?!


Question: I've been putting up with my jaw locking and popping for a year or so now. This morning it locked very bad,and I couldn't open my mouth for a couple of mins.

I AM going to the Dr. on Thurs., I made that appt. a while ago.

Right now I have a headach that goes from my jawline to the top of my head,and it feels like I've been overusing it (it feels "tired")
I can't chew anything ,so today I've been eating yogert.

My question is, whay does it keep doing that? My dentist had thought it was from grinding my teeth, but I don't do that. I still ave wisdom teeth. I was also wondering if there is any relief besides Advil and rubbing it every so often.

Any ideas?

Ask your doctor about TMJ and if it has to do with what your problem is right now.
