Well, for over 3 years, my jaw hasnt been normal. Sometimes, it gets a little stiff, and hard to move..so i have to move it, even though it hurts, up and down until it makes a cracking sound, so i can actually move it normally again. Also, it hurts. Not a lot, but I can still feel the pain..and about 85% of the time its hurting. I'd say the pain is a 3, maybe 4 on scale of 1-10. Anyways...I can only open my mouth a little, because if I open it too much, I feel pain.. I can only open it about an inch, maybe less. And also, it hurts whenever i chew. Even if its just mashed potatoes, it still hurts. Also, I should mention, its only on the right side of my jaw. So I have to eat with the left side of my mouth..but it still hurts to chew. Should I get this checked out? Does anybody know what could be wrong with it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
