Severe Pain in Jaw Muscle/Joint When Opening Mouth

[Carlyi]

This is a new one. Yesterday out of nowhere the right side of my jaw joint started to hurt. The pain is very sharp and intense. It feels like muscle pain. It begins to hurt when I open it as little as two finger widths. It hurts when I chew and put food in my mouth. It hurts when I hold my mouth open to brush my teeth.

Is it possible I could have hyper extended it while brushing my teeth? I open wide so I can see everything well while I'm brushing and flossing.

Hi, how is your jaw doing? I have a similair issue as you. My right jaw joint hurts alot after eating and the ringing is 3 times louder as before, i'm going insane.. Did the ringing go down?
