Hi, I'm a 21 year old male who has had a
constant cracking and popping of my jaw
for the past 3 months or so. It is only on
my right side, and pops a lot, espicially
when i wake up. It doesn't really hurt,
but there is pressure on the side, which
leads me to try to crack it during the
day. It kind of feels like there is
grinding when i do this. I have an appt
with my dentist next Wed. Could this be
tmj or is my jaw just out out of place or
something?

it could be tmj but it could also be
stress. trkly to releive stress as much as
possible--dont try to crack it it will
make things worse. ice it and if its not
hurting dont worry too much about it
