I have had it on my right jaw side like
forever. When ever I chew something hard
it hurts and when I sleep on my left side
I can actually hear it moving in and out
of place. My right side is a little
milder.
Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks dyan, at least I know I am not the
only one in this situation. I too have it
on both sides but, my right one is the one
that really cracks and hurts a lot of the
time. I just find it really hard to chew
the really good food in life. Like London
Broil (yummy) and hard rolls etc. At least
I have not "locked up" yet.

good food in life. Its best to stick with
a soft diet. Carrie--if you need anything

I have that too. I think I have the
popping worse on the right than on the
left, but it usually isn't painful. I do
stick to a softer diet because hey, we all
love those carbs, but I guess I do eat my
steaks on the more rare side too lol.
Rolls are tough for me too. I just have
to remember to keep the bites little

My right side is locked, so I haven't
experienced any popping or clicking there
for over six months. My left side has
started clicking a lot more since my
failed arthrocentesis caused my right side
to lock. I'm hoping I'm not headed for a
similar problem on the left side. As far
as I know, there is no osteoarthritis
there -- unlike my right side -- so maybe
there is hope.
