really quite loudly. Other half says I had better go get it checked out but it's normal for me as it has gone on as long as I can remember.

Is it normal?

Please, no jokes about lock jaw

fitzscoob

dont think its normal, but if it makes you feel any better, all of my toes and every now and then my ankles click as i walk....

Chip

Sits back and waits

eClaire

Hoi - I'm only 21!!!

Chip, I am chewing at the moment, I am surprised you can't actually hear it in Wales

Nope Jason, never Mod baited in my life I'm all sweetness

eClaire

About to get stuck into pork scallops in that case

fitzscoob

lol im only 24

eClaire

Oh, goody, I have clicky joints to look forward to in my old age

eClaire

Not at this moment in time she won't - she's working lol

I wonder how long we can go for before it gets muppetised??

Patt@firstime

Claire,

If I move my jaw side to side it clicks really badly (does it when eating aswell sometimes) it started after I was beaten up about 4/5 years ago and got punched repeatedly in the jaw - hospital said it wasn't broken but because it 'clicks' they said it probably was

Don't know if you've ever been punched in the jaw?

Matt

P.S LOL @ the lock jaw comment

eClaire

I have had a knock or two to the jaw, but nothing got broken (or bruised for that matter)! Doesn't happen to girlies as much Maybe its all those clouts across the lug I was on the recieving end of as a youngster!!

Patt@firstime

Yeah it tends to be more 'boys' than 'girlys' . I was sat parked in my car talking to a mate parked next to me and a bloke walked between the cars and starting beating the **** outta me while shouting ;I'm going to f*in kill you!) I didn't even say anything or get out the car (couldn't move). My face was a right mess (some would say still is ).

Can't see what a doctor or even physio can do though for a jaw any medical people care to correct me?

Matt

P.S How was the pork?

Pars

Having a clicking jaw means that your ears will gradually fall off.

eClaire

Fooking hell Matt!! And this was totally unprovoked? Pork was fab if a little noisy

PMSL Pars, did your granny tell you that one?

Patt@firstime

Pars

No, it happened to someone I know.

iTrader: (1)

mine clicks aswell, and like patt it was down to a smack in the gob(younger stoopid reckless days )

has got better over time as my jaw muscles have got bigger (not david coulthard stylee, but bigger than when i got a slapping).

might just be one of these things that 'goes away'. or your jaw bones will wear out and your lower jaw will hang on the ground, nothing to worry about

scoob north

best thing you can do mate is stop eating lol

Patt@firstime

Yes Claire completely - had never seen him before and never have since after he had finished with me he walked round the front of the car (was reversed in space) to get my at the time g/f, when he did I drove forwards into him and straight to A&E, driving was dodgy as I could hardly see due to my eyes being nearly shut because of swelled/cut face, there was no gap between my top lip and bottom of nose (think about that)

Matt (pretty again now)

P.S Pork tends to be *cough* so I'm told

eClaire

LOL Pars, if I was half daft I'd be inclined to believe you!!

Ugh, hoskib - I don't want to be looking like those gormless ******* who walk about with their mouth wide open catching flies It wear out it wears out, i will just sue SN for inaccurate advice for telling me to leave it - that can fund my face lift

Patt@firstime

eClaire

Nope north, that would be like telling Bliar to stop fibbing - just impossible!!

Blimey Matt, sounds bad!!! You left with scars?

Patt@firstime

no Claire-no scars luckily Just the 'clicky' jaw

Right, I'm done at work - I'm off to pick the g/f up from work and then home for a quiet night in

Matt

eClaire

Awwwwe bless!!

FlightMan

Mine does it to, weird isnt it!

David Lock

She who should be obeyed (retired dentist) says mention it to your dentist next time and he may refer you to an oral surgeon if necessary. DL

c_n_j

Mine does it quite badly (other people can hear it while I'm eating), it's because I grind my teeth really badly in my sleep. I have to wear a gumshield type thing when I sleep now. It was my dentist that told me that I grind my teeth, she could tell by the wear pattern!

eClaire

**** that!!


It seems a lot of people have this clicky jaw.

jamin

My girlfriend also gets this clicky jaw thing too, she's been using it for years as an excuse....

papascooby

mine does too and i received a lump in the jaw once or twice in my youth - the left side clicks if i move it from side to side
