Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The jaw joint lock is because of the disc displacement in the Jaw joint or temporomandibular joint. This can occur secondary to long standing bruxism or grinding teeth during night time or it can be because of malocclusion or stress.
Nothing to be panic, Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If i am your treating doctor, i would suggest you to take anti inflammatory drugs like piroxicam 20mg twice daily on first day and twice daily on next 6 days. You can also take muscle relaxants like chlorzoxazone. You can give hot fomentation over the joints. Do not eat hard things, do not open your mouth too wide. take soft diet. If this does not help then consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get a joint lavage (arthocentesis) done with saline or autologous blood.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
