TMJ and lock jaw?>
by ashleygriffin, Jun 14, 2008 07:41PM
I was diagnosed with TMJ a couple of years back, and now it is really starting to bother me. It normally clicks when I eat, laugh, chew gum, and basic day to day things, and today it decided to stay locked on me and I dont know what to do, I have tried the warm clothes, the massaging of the jaw near the ear and Im getting so stressed because I can only open my mouth about a half and inch and the left side of my face/jaw is feeling tight and alittle swollen, I dont know what to do and Im worried and stressed. HELP... please...

Seeing a tmj specialist to reduce the displaced disc ASAP is advised.
