Yesterday before be out of nowhere my mouth became difficult to open. I was able to still fit two knuckles in but no more. Then I tried to open again and I heard a pop, like knuckles popping but in my jaw, I kept opening my mouth( not wide) but just a little and it kept popping maybe five more time and then stopped. This is weird, I’ve never experienced this before.

Answer

I did have lock jaw. Sometimes it still comes back; but wearing my retainer at night helps prevent it from being too awful.

Answer

I went on YouTube and searched jaw exercises and found a few ways to loosen the muscle. This sounds like TMJ. I have it too and this once happened to me and i was terrified! The exercises along with warm and cold compresses helped a lot

Answer

I had it for years and I never saw a doctor. My jaw would pop all the time and lock up. The feeling is awful! Eventually one day it just stopped 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not sure why but I haven’t experienced it in a few years at least.

Answer

I actually have TMJ and it’s not fun. It actually first started happening in the summer of 2015 I think. I went to the doctors and thats how I found out. There wasn’t much they could do for me and except give me jaw exercises to do. It helped eventually and I haven’t had a problem since.  You could also compress something warm and moist against where it’s locked to help it loosen up or take ibuprofen to help with the pain. ☺️ I hope this helped in some way
