The muscle or tendon or whatever that connects the upper and lower jaw is killing me! Hurts to smile, talk, eat, open my mouth, etc. What the heck is it? Did I maybe somehow dislocate it? It kinda makes a crunching sound when I push my jaw side to side with my hand. Please help! I want to eat dinner!

cyanne2ak is correct about TMJ. I had it and it really is bothersome --- hurts like a bear. It goes away but, just in case, see your dentist. I do not believe it's an emergency but see your dentist anyway to confirm TMJ.

I would say if you had trauma to your jaw area itis vaery possible you dislocated it. I knew a guy whos grandaughter headbutted him in the jaw on accident and it dislocated. Might want to get it checked out.
