I was wondering why this has started and if any other person has had this which has then lead on to them managing to crack their jaw to release the ache. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top Benny Posted: Mon May 26, 2008 11:16 pm    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Mar 31, 2007 Posts: 11 Location: Ontario, Canada Hi Blaze - you probably read that I have the same problem as you have outlined here. You can crack your jaw by using the palm of your right hand and pressing firmly against the right side of your jaw just under your ear where the joint is and it will crack and you will feel relief. Open your mouth when doing this. You then may be able to crack it from the left side as well. Sometimes it will crack on it's own by opening your mouth very wide. I experienced alot of pain a couple of years ago and the joint muscle actually became larger. I had it examined by my dentist who sent me to an oral surgeon who took an MRI of the area - nothing wrong apparently. This is the problem we who have joint problems endure - lack of knowledge and facility to diagnose our problems correctly. After several years of this jaw problem, it has settled down pain wise and just needs a cracking every once in a while - usually as part of my other joint cracking requirements. Hope this helps, regards, Benny _________________ " I yam what I yam and thas all that I yam" Popeye Back to top Blaze Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 12:28 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Thank you Benny as this is one of the only clear explanations of how to crack a joint i can't so far. Would it hurt to press quite hard down to get it to crack? Furthermore, is it like the circle bit at the end of the jaw? _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top Benny Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 1:50 am    Post subject: Jointcracker Joined: Mar 31, 2007 Posts: 11 Location: Ontario, Canada Hi Blaze - yes it requires a fair amount of pressure to crack it - your elbow should be up and pretty much parallel with the floor with the ball of your palm resting on the round bump of your jaw joint just where it turns to go up toward your ear. Yours fingers should extend toward the back of your neck with your thumb pointing downwards. It may require several quick pushes to finally crack it but if there is any sharp pain it is probably best to stop. Hope this helps and good luck, Benny _________________ " I yam what I yam and thas all that I yam" Popeye Back to top Blaze Posted: Tue May 27, 2008 2:05 am    Post subject: Supreme Jointcracker Joined: Jul 15, 2007 Posts: 1463 Location: Sweden Ah thank you. I wasn't sure because i just felt the area you described but there is also the end of the jaw further up the ear so i wasn't sure which part. I might try only if i really can't deal with the ache. _________________ Leaving on June 4th Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First     Page 1 of 1 Jointcrackers Forum Index » Joint cracking » Jaw Ache Jump to: Select a forum General----------------Feedback & suggestionsOff-TopicHelp Joint Cracking----------------IntroductionsJoints in generalJoint cracking Medical----------------SymptomsDiagnosisCausesTreatment  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum DAJ Glass (1.0.5) template by Dustin Baccetti EQ graphic based off of a design from www.freeclipart.nu Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group Forums © All logos and trademarks in this site are property of their respective owner.
