My jaw keeps getting stuck! The first time it did this was was the 24th of April, and now it's been doing it more often. Right now especially. It hurts so bad. I open my mouth as wide as I can and finally it pops, and its normal again. But right away (I'm chewing a starburst) it gets stuck again.:(

Sounds like TMJ. There as a thread on it recently here (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76937&highlight=TMJ)

I hope you feel better soon!

Stop chewing on gum or anything chewy, like starbursts. Eat soft foods that you don't have to put a great deal into chewing. This very thing has been going on with me since I was about 4. It's absolutely no fun, but you learn to deal with it. More often than not, I don't feel the pain.. just pressue and discomfort because I can't move my jaw past a certain point. However, you WILL get used to it and the pain will go away! Feel better soon.

Sorry that you are having problems with your jaw. And I am sorry there is nothing I can do to help it.
