I am actually experiencing really really really bad pain and it seriously came out of no where. I have always had popping jaws and I have use a bruxism splint before. I know I wasnt bitten by any animal and know I dont have tetnus....soo if this is stressed induced, it really sucks. Im doing the heat application and trying to stretch the muscle a little but it hurts. I just took some aleve about 20 minutes ago and it hasnt kicked in. Here is is 1:45 and I have to get up to go to work in a little while and am unable to sleep because of this. If anyone else has any solutions, please, come and find me and let me know because this is ridiculous. I know i need to go and see a specialist, I was a dental assistant for 5 years. I know, already!! I cannot afford it at the moment, thats all! If I can get a script that would be awesome!

I know of 3 causes of paralysis to the jaw. All 3 should be treated by a doctor.
1. Rabies-needs to be treated immediately, if not sooner! This infection, carried by animal bites, can be fatal.
2. Tetanus-another potentially fatal infection, usually comes from dirty puncture wounds. This, too, can be fatal if not treated.
3. Dislocation of the jaw- various traumas can dislocate the lower jaw out of its normal hinge. This is normally treated by sedating the patient (with a muscle relaxant) and then "reducing" the jaw back into its normal place.
There may be others, but those are my list of "immediate suspects".

If you can rule out some spastic cause (medications ,neuromuscular ,) then the condition is simply chronic dislocation of the temporal mandibular joint . The joint may be loose due to a syndrome (Ehlers-Danlos) or be chronically over extended during yawning or large bites of food . Treatment consiststs of manually forcing the lower jaw down and backwards until the joint clicks back into place
