The problem you are explaining most likely looks like TMJ derangement, a term used for abnormal movements of your joint. Get a maxillofacial consultation before it gets worse. By the time try to have soft food and not open your mouth too wide.

This pain in your joint can be due the inspection of third molar which is causing pain and you are feeling it
You can go for x ray to check it
And it is confirmed then you should go for its removal
