Hi this seems to be the best forum that i
have found so far with people having what
i seem to also be having, in november i
was chatting to my husband in bed i turned
over and crack went my jaw then it locked
all twisted up and then it seemed to go
back into place > i went to accident
and emergency and was sent home saying
that this was not disclcoated now and go
home. It has now been 6 weeks and
although alot of the swelling has now gone
down my bite feels odd and i have limied
mouth opening i have been only drinking
milkshakes and cup a soups for this period
of time. There seems to be alot of
crunching going on when i move my jaw on
the opposite side to where it originally
hurt, i dont really have any pain now just
discomfort but will i ever get this
opening of my mouth back, my teeth also
when it happend felt really weird like
when you sprain an ankle and try to walk
on it, i cannot bite into anything or chew
or anything, i cant sleep as i worry my
jaw will slip out again, i know with a
dislocated that it can re occur but is
there normally a time limit if it is going
to happen or something, i been in tears
now for days i dont know if i am coming or
going

I dont think that it is dislocated. when
the condyle subluxes and then returns to
its normal place you hear a crack or a
pop. It sounds like you could really
benefit from some neuromuscular dentistry
and a chiropractor. let me know if you
need anything--i can even help you find a
good doctor.

Hi there and thanks for the reply, i am
somewhat confused, if the condyle subluxes
(whatever that is) i am sorry i am new to
all of this. then how does that happen my
actual jaw come out to one side and locked
for a bit then unlocked and i have been
like i am since with limited mouth opening
the only way i can describe it is if i try
to oenmy mouth the whole of my mouth feels
like it is pulling on one side and it
feels like my bite is iff, i am so scared
i will be left like this for life

no you wont be like this for life.
subluxing merely means that the bone goes
past where it should. pm me a zip and i
can get you on the road to a good doctor
that will fix this for you.
