TMJ (Lock Jaw)

2017-11-07 05:45:34
My jaw is constantly popping and it didn’t concern me until recently when I would go to open my mouth and could feel my jaw locked in place and to open it any further I would have to pop my jaw out and it is super loud and super painful.

Your jaw area/intra oral area needs to be evaluated for any unusual restriction/deviation/dislocation to identify the cause which maybe muscular also. You may connect with a dentist in your area for a through examination or referral. Delaying will just aggravate the situation. Meanwhile for relief you may do some warm compression intermittently in the affected area.
