What did I do to my jaw?

Question

I know, I know, see a doctor. I would like to but I can't right now. So someone please tell me what may be wrong and how it can be resolved.

Yesterday I was biting down hard on something when I felt a sickening pop. I was surprised but didn't think anything of it at first. Later I noticed that it hurt to move my jaw a certain way. Then, I went to get something to eat and the pain became very apparent. Whenever I try to chew something it hurts! I can bite down without any pain otherwise, but when I try to eat it hurts too much. Is this going to fix itself on its own?

I had my wisdom teeth out a month or so ago and I read in the pamphlet that the jaw could be weakened due to the surgery. Is it possible that I may need surgery to fix my jaw?

Someone please ease my mind. But answer truthfully of course.

Answer 1

yes, you have to see a dentist.. and you need X-ray too

No one can give you a true information

Answer 2

a. is your face swollen... all blue and all?

if not .. its not broken...

b. i dont think its that seriose.. so calm down...

c. u wont need surgery to fix ur jaw... unless the dentist wants to ripp u off.. which u will be able to tell..

i think u aplied too much pressure on to it.. so its kinda hurting..

just like when u pinch ur self or get pinched hard.. and it aches for a couple of days!

Answer 3

I think maybe you popped your jaw out of place... call your dentist and see what they say.
