Hello,
It looks like you have jaw joint related problem like TMJ/TMD. It is the cause of grinding and popping sensation of the jaw joint along with pain and stiffness.
So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated. A clinical examination and investigation like panoramic x-ray should be done to rule out the exact cause.
You can be advised a combination of painkillers and muscle relaxant, mouth guards and Physiotherapy for relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
