Whats wrong with my jaw ?

Question

I was playing football when i got an elbow on the bottom left of my chin. I woke up the next morning to find a small bruise on my chin but the pain is coming from my upper jaw beside my ear and it is sore when i stretch it but i can open my mouth fully and close without any pain. I am just wondering what is wrong with it and how long will it take to go away

Answer 1

Sounds like it could be partially dislocated - try yawning if you can and stretch your jaw downwards - gently - it may help

As to how long it takes - its individual and possibly depends on how long it takes to go back in

If it concerns you go to your doctor and ask him for some medication which will help to relax the muscles a bit and reduce the soreness

A chiropractor may also be able to help relocate your jaw - if its out it will possibly be in the part that hinges
