I have a question. I'm not sure if I have
TMJ or not. I have none of the symptoms
such as popping and/or clicking, nor do my
eyes get blurry or watery other than when
I wake up.
But one thing that stricts me is the
movement of my jaw. Whenever I open my
mouth it kinda pops outward. I'll try and
explain a little better lol.
Where my sideburns are, the joint where my
Mandible mets my head? that little joint
right there moves out or to the side from
my pov. If my hands are over it when I do
this I would describe it as a rolling
motion, If I move it back and forth from
when it moves from ''normal' to outward it
feels like its almost double jointed.
any help with what I might have or if I'm
just being worried over nothing will be
helpful thanks.

I think you may just be worried. its
normal for the joint to "bulge" a little.
is there any pain or noise at all?

there is a possibility that you have a
mild form of tmd. are you under a lot of
stress? it may be stress induced.

I have to agree with dyanmatteson. I use
to have your symptoms exactly before it
turned into full blown tmj. Even now it
clicks when I begin to open my mouth but
turns into a full grating noise and feel.
My jaws tend to bulge a bit more than
what's considered normal, moreso on my
left, and my chin pushes back against my
throat which is abnormal when fully
opened. However in your case, if your jaw
rolls outwards I think it's considered
normal.

just try to reduce your stress as much as
possible--and relax it helps
