Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Sometimes when I yawn, my jaw feels and hears like my jar is ripping apart or shattering, or crumbleing. it hurts so much that when this happends i cry, and i normally dont cry. its only on the right side. ive been to the orthodontist and they notised my jaw clicks/pops but said that 45% of women have that (im a girl) and didnt say anything else or do anything. sometimes my jaw locks up too. help please. it hurts so much.
Your symptoms seem to be related to temporo mandibular syndrome. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. I also suggest using cold compresses for local application. If the symptoms continue, I suggest to consult an orthopedist for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
