Arthritis in the Jaw?!
Question: Arthritis in the Jaw.?
I have had this habit going on for a couple of years now where i click my Jaw, and i only do it when I'm concentrating and or watching T..V or getting tired so i don't do it all day long but for a couple of hours a day.. And now i am getting worried that i may cause Arthritis in my Jaw.. Can this be possible.? My jaw can sometimes ache a bit but not that often..
Can anyone shed any light in this at all.?

I had it for decades......eventually putting it down to grinding of teeth when asleep..
Drastic I know but some teeth were lost and guess what......the problem stopped.. And I no longer have it.. A dentist or consultant can sometimes offer treatment but as has been suggested it can disappear on it's own..
Its a more common ailment than many realise.. Health Question & Answer
