Jaw problems
I have had alot of problems with my jaw and for the longest time thought it was lockjaw but I don't have the right symptoms for it. The right side of my jaw in the very back pops everytime I yawn, eat, chew gum, etc. I can't open my mouth all the way sometimes. When I move my jaw up and down I feel/hear a pop every time. When I got braces and they had to open my mouth for a long period of time i could hardly open it wide enough let alone leave it open, What is happening!?
You may be dealing with temporomandibular joint disorder, more commonly known as TMJ or TMD. Here are some articles describing the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of TMJ: http://www.healthcentral.com/chronic-pain/tmj.html If after reading those articles, you think that sounds like what you're experiencing, talk with your doctor.
