After thorough clinical and radiographic or ct scan of joint gives perfect diagnosis. Second point that body has adopted the pain because joint bone get wear out over the period of time. Reason for clicking sound is skull bone and lower jaw bone get friction over each other because of loss of fluid present in between these two bone.
