Jaw crackling when I eat?

Question

Well, about a couple months ago, my jaw used to pop when I eat, yes, I know that means I have TMJ. But now, it's a crackling sound, and it has become uncomfortable to eat food. I did this home test I found, where I place two fingers on both sides of my jaw, and when I did that, It felt like the jaw would pop out to the right side when I opened my mouth.

Know, I can't even bring my self to eat anything, because the sound gives me headaches, and it also feels like, my jaw is becoming harder to open and close.

Is there any treatment for this?

I would be ever so grateful. Please & thank youuuu <3

When the joints move, you may hear sounds, such as clicking, grating, and/or popping. Others may also be able to hear the sounds. Clicking and popping are common. This means the disc may be in an abnormal position. Sometimes no treatment is needed if the sounds give you no pain.
