i have been experiencing tension in my jaw for a few months and over the past few weeks it has become like a sort of lack jaw. by this i mean that it is painful to open my jaw and when i do it clicks and crunches and it often feels as if it is misplaced. i have also been getting a lot of neck pains and headaches recently and i think that the two are connected.

i have tried massaging my jaw but it only provides some momentary relief ... i need to fix it as i have upcoming exams and the pain makes it difficult to concentrate

i have thought to go see my doctor so that he can recommend what to do ... but should i just be going to a physiotherapist or just get a massage?

any help or recommendations as to what i should do will be very appreciated

thank you

Hi Film, dont know your underlying medical issues, but your explanation of your 'lack jaw' is pretty good, however, cant diagnose or recommend on AMHD as you can appreciate.

I would see your general physician, not a physio.
