If your jaw is locked open or closed, go to a hospital's emergency department. The open locked jaw is treated by sedating you to a comfortable level. Then the mandible (upper jaw) is held with the thumbs while the lower jaw is pushed downward, forward, and backward. This maneuver is usually done by the Emergency Department physician or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist. The closed locked jaw is also treated by sedating you until you are completely relaxed.
Anyways, the pain would come and go (especially when I had sores on one side on my mouth) and I thought there was nothing I could do but wait it out. Until it hit me: pop my jaw! Heres a short explanation of how to do it: -let your jaw just drop. Get it relaxed. You should be able to wiggle it freely side to side (with your hands) without your jaw muscles resisting. -then put your palms against the side of your jaw (around your side burns) and forcefully wiggle your jaw side to side.
