Recommended Posts

Ever since waking up yesterday morning i havent been able to open my mouth more than about 2cm its like somethings trapped on one side. I cant eat properly and its rather painfull if it do. Its done it in the past but clicked straght back. Anyone elce had problems like this? What did you do. Maybe i should get someone to punch me in the face.

I have that (I think) sometimes it just aches like buggery sometimes its fine.

I was supposed to have a headbrace because my jaw is too small for my head to stretch it out a bit, but I never did, and thats the price I pay for it.

Have you ever seen an orthodontist?

Never seen a orthodontist never really had a bad problem before.  Thinking about it it seams my lower jaw is a tad far back its feels like just a tendon is trapped :(

Maybe it would be worth a look see. You might look quite fetching with a headbrace!

It might just be a trapped nerve though, if this is the first time youve ever had trouble with your jaw.

Dont go so big next time, stick to what you can fit in your mouth comfortably, if you know what I mean :(

Got fed up on the train home from manchester and managed to pop it back into joint (Y) Seams fine so far but its poped back into the bad position a few times. Im hopeing a good nites rest in the proper position will sort it after being knackered for 36+ hours.

Either? Both? Depends how i fell....

Now back on topic.

I would imagine that it will keep coming out till the tendon has time to heal, but if you keep doing stuff that makes it pop out, it wont heal properly, because you will keep stretching the tendon.

In other words keep your mouth shut for a week or so
