Sudden Pain of Jaw
There is a sudden bump at the end of my right jaw. When I'm touching it, it gives pain. I hardly chew. It started last Tuesday. However, my right jaw was constantly popping and locking before this happened.

Popping and locking of the naw is suggestive of a TMJ or jaw joint issue ... but the sudden bump might not be related to it.... by a bump I am assuming that u have a swelling in the right side of the jaw... it could possibly be from an erupting wisdom molar .... u need to get an OPG done and obviously you need to see an oral and Maxillofacial surgeon
