Jaw Ache when eating
Top back jaw paining when stretched. Hurts most when trying to close whenever I yawn. I can't bite on hard items and it's making a clicking feeling whenever I open past a certain limit. No physical injuries, I believe it's from a wrong sleeping position. Been having it for 2 weeks now.
