First of all I am 16.
One day I was bored and started playing with my jaw. I liked to open my jaw sideways and the joints will sort of slip out. When i close it, they will slip back in. (Yes, what a fool I am). Now when my joints slipped out, it wont go back in. Each time I open my mouth i get a crack sound.
Then after a day, I had the same problem and attempted to fix it by opening up my mouth with my jaw on a slant again, it got worse. It jammed and took me a few mins to unjam it.
Has anyone ever got this before?
Does it Heal Alone?
Any tips will be apprecianted. Please dont tell me to go see a specialist.
Thanks

The popping is in the back of your jaw? This is the jaw joint..T.M.J Temporal mandibular junction..
Good news maybe..
Its sounds like it could be possible it is just swollen. Aspirin should help and (sorry) keep your mouth shut..stop goofing with this important part of your face okay..

its better to play with your dick, it will not dislocate. You are having serious problem. You have to tie your lower jaw to your head for a month or so, so that your joint heals or you have to get surgery done. It will get worst as the days go by.

if you are sure it's not TMJ, quit trying to dislocate your jaw, silly!

YOU DO HAVE TMJ PROBLEMS EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY NOT HURT. THE VERY FACT THAT YOU MENTIONED THINGS GETTING STUCK OPEN VERYFIES THIS.
