This is typical of TMJ problems!. What happens is that the fibrous insert of the jaw joint can slip out of joint and actually obstruct the joint!. Getting it moving by massaging it can help loosen it up so that it goes back into place!. Chances are that a good chiropractor who is trained in TMJ problems can take care of that for you once and for all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

this can be very disconcerting and somewhat debilitating-you are most definitely developing tempero-mandibular-dysfunction!. Here is what you should do!.!.!.see a board certified ORAL SURGEON, not for crying out loud, a chiropractor, he will order some radiographs, images, and ct scans, most likely, he will not a displacement of the respective cartilages surrounding the joint, it is probably this displacement you are experiencing, so the sooner you begin, the sooner you will get relief!.!.!.good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i know exactly what youre going through! my jaw used to pop all of the time, and i went to a specialist who told me it was a muscular problem called TMJ!. if you do some research on google, maybe you'll recognize more symptoms!. about a year ago, i had jaw surgery (saved my life! i no longer have this problem) and i have never felt better!. here is the website for the oral surgeon who did my operation if you want to call and ask questions!.

good luck and hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com
