tmj jaw really hurts

by crid, Sep 15, 2007 03:25PM
Ok for a long time, my jaw has been popping. It pops mainly when I'm eating. But lately it has become much worse. It pops when I eat, talk, laugh, anything I do! I'm in the marching band at school, and we marched our halftime then went back into the stands. Well when we got there I noticed my jaw would only open so far and if I tried to open it any further it hurt so bad, then if I slammed my mouth open as fast as I could (does that make sense) it would really hurt and it would pop. So my jaw was pretty much locked almost shut. I really want to get rid of it and I don't know how. Right now I just have a slight headache from my aching jaw. Everyone says try not to pop it, but I can't help it. No matter what side I chew on it pops. So any advice on how to get rid of it would be greatly appreciated!!!
thanks.
