I may have TMD

[Vermilioncore]

I woke up and was scared as fuck because my mouth couldn't open all the way because my right side of jaw seemed stuck. Eventually after moving my jaw around, I was able to fully open it, but I noticed when my jaw moves certain ways and I try to fully open my mouth, it locks up again. Also, there's some pain by that right side of jaw and ear area.

I have been clenching my teeth a lot to make my jaw look stronger when I'm at work. Was this bad to do?

google bruxism

clenching of any kind is generally considered bad

I get this when I yawn sometimes, but I had surgery in the past. Sometimes I have to close my mouth with my hand because it feels like my jaw will snap. Stop clenching and see a doc

Stop clenching like a PSL aspie then
