Hello, Im 14 years old and When i woke up this morning my I couldn't open my jaw all the way. Everytime i did it clicked/popped. And it hurts, I hate eating now, and im a little afriad If i might have TMD i'd just die if i have to get my jaw reset. It's been like this for 6 hours now, And i haven't stepped on anything rusty like a nail or a needle im sure of.

It hurts on my Right side of my jaw near my ear.

Difficulty in opening or closing your mouth, discomfort while chewing and aching facial pain are among the complaints of patients with TMJ disorders. I recommend that you consult your doctor at the soonest possible time. Imaging procedures such as x-ray and CT scan may be requested by your doctor to confirm diagnosis. Good luck.
