Jaws......

[wednesday]

I know...you where all thinking wtf?..shes posted in the wrong area.

Anyway, this afternoon i was munching on one of my sons crisps..when my jaw totally locked.
I couldnt move it all....it went away after 2 mins?...but now left side of my face aches, i cant eat...and it wont let me yawn??...

Any ideas?

I was a lil worried it might be lockjaw ..and im allergic to the tetanus jab.....so clue me in anyone??:willy_nilly:

it could be TMJ
i can't remember what it stands for but i had it a long time ago and it was super painful.
i ended up going to the doctor and he gave me some medicine to take for it.

If it is TMJ, lots of people have it to varying degrees and live with it everyday.

My wife has it, and it comes and goes. But you can deal with it..It's manageable

Well whatever you do, don't ignore it

You'll feel much better about it when you get it properly diagnosed, and seek solutions
