barney_rebel Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 For the past month or two, if I yawn, I have to click it back in to place. As I open my mouth and close it, I feel a click. Damn it feels like crap... OWWWW it's painful... Anyone know of anyone or have jaw problems? I hope it's not permanently screwed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushRevisited Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 It's called TMJ. You can help by exercising your jaw in the "unlocked' position (not clicking it!) and it may help. Welcome to the world of TMJ, something I have dealt with since I was 18, almost 15 years ago when my oral surgeon overextended my jaw taking out my wizdom teeth. It sucks bad for me...

You need to try to keep it open, not closed, but open in the "unpopped" mode. Step #1 - go to your dentist and get a biteplate to wear at night so it gets fixed instead of ignoring it like I did for so long to the point where I need jaw surgery to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it require surgery/ Early stages can be fixed with a special bite plate at night (most cases I believe). Once it goes too long and the "diaphram" which is popping out of the jaw socket becomes more "used to" popping out, I believe surgery is about all that can fix it.... That is why this initial time is SO important. If I could go back 15 years to have this taken care of immediately, I would. It has caused a lot of problems ovetr the years, including headaches that make you want to put a bullet in your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migranes can be pretty painful sometimes as well, but I couldn't compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 The clicking this from a dislocation of the disc (like cariledge) between your jaw and head. As you open it pops off the condyle. You may need a splint to hold your jaw open so the disc doesn't pop, this gives the jaw time to heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually feels a lot better right now, but getting this uncmfortable cough... wtf man.. I want to go home . Two more days of this sh1t... I wear a night gaurd from mydentist because my teeth were farged from grinding but... wonder if that's what's causing my problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
