Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
Do you have any history of fall, fight, trauma, accident recently? Are you having tobacco chewing habit, smoking? I would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get the checkup done take an OPG radiograph of the region, to see if there is any problem in the TMJ region, take multivitamin suplements .
Hope you find this as helpful,
Take care!

Pain on opening or chewing ,popping sounds while biting suggests TMJ syndrome.Pain can be relieved by a combination of medications including muscle relaxants.
I would advice you to visit a Oral and Maxillo-facial surgeon and get it evaluated and if splints are needed to fit over the teeth,you can get it done. These devices take pressure off the jaw joints and muscles so they can relax and heal.If TMJ syndrome is properly treated, the symptoms will definitely be cured.
Certain exercises that can be done at home is , like forcefully opening and closing of mouth 5-10 times every day , you can check the amount of mouth opening by keeping a finger inside, if you are able to keep two fingers then the amount of mouth opening has increased gradually.
Hope this was helpful.
Thanks and regards.
