I've been having problems with my jaw, it pops a lot, and sometimes it's so bad I can't really eat. But then it goes away... well, I guess I'm one of the only people to say that I have a double jointed jaw...lol has this ever happened to anyone else?
mine pops out of joint if I open it up a lot, but it hurts, and I can't keep it that way for any length of time. It's never affected my eating though... have you asked your doctor about it at all?
I have that...they call it TMJ. My doctor said if it gets worse you can get a surgery done....but that's mainly for really severe cases. Mine's not too bad and I usually don't notice it much. If it's really tight and hard to open I try and avoid 'big' food like sub sandwiches etc.
I have the same prob. Doesn't effect my eatting, but it does cause problems with some extra-curicular activities that involve opening my mouth wide for extended periods of time. lol. I also avoid "big" food.... and sometimes even yawning can cause my jaw to stick... almost like it de-hinges like snakes do to eat an egg.
Wow...I wasn't sure if there was actual name for it, or if I were just messed up...haha...Mine doesn't really hurt, it's just annoying. What does TMJ stand for?
