Please get your bite and both the joints thoroughly evaluated by a prosthodontist. You me need bite guards to deprogram your bite and correct the pain on the left side.

Hi,
You need to get this issue examined by your dentist. Shift to soft diet for a month. Avoid opening your mouth wide. At this point surgery is not required, but if left unattended, it may lead to further complications.
