Q: crepitus and popping
asked by: pstuart on May 11th, 2008

I've looked all over the net, and I'm hoping someone can relate! I understand that disc displacement has an opening and closing click... I have the symptoms - midline deviation opening and closing - a lot of pain that moves around, etc. but here's the question:
I have multiple sound crunching when CLOSING ONLY - not when opening. Sometimes a very soft pop on opening. But this closing thing is very audible and can easily be felt and heard when putting fingers on the side of my ear or when putting a finger in the ear canal - it is loud and painful... PLEASE can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks so much!
