A while back during a wrestling session, my jaw was hit with a "russian uppercut" totally by accident. But afterwards I felt it a bit hard to like perform the chewing motion. The next day the right side I guess slipped back into place. But my left side now is more out of it, it only hurts when I go to open my mouth all the way. There is a point where I feel it in my upper left side of my face where its like a pulling sensation and it hurts. Anyways, I can live with the pain its not like its hurting very bad but its annoying as hell when I eat to have to worry about chewing to fast on the left side that I open up to much. Anyways, im thinking about getting an X-ray or something but I didnt want to do it to prematurely cause well like alot of people im without health insurance. So if anyone can give me some pointers I would appreciate it.

I had the same thing happen to me while playing hockey! I took an elbow to the chops and felt the left side completely slip.
It would be in your best interest to have an X-Ray done even though you have no insurance...I know that it sucks. My buddy also had it happen to him and he left it too long and eventually had to have his jaw wired shut for 6-8 weeks so in terms of long term cost it is probably best to get the diagnostic x-ray now rather than pay out the nose later on for something major.
My jaw did heal on its own over time but even now when I eat sometimes it cracks while I chew.
Good Luck!

sounds like you need to see an Orthodontist and might need to have the jaw realigned.
