I've never had jaw joint issues, so this was very random. It is on the side I had the new crowns, so I had been very careful about chewing on that side up until this past weekend (chewed up gums.) So maybe I just strained something weak. And the pop was just incidental. Uh huh.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sarameg, that exact thing happened to me while eating bread, also after a fairly lengthy dental procedure. Anecdata R us.

I'm sorry your sister lost ita, but I think it's so friggin' cool that she played the Williams sisters and that Navratilova complimented her playing!

It was over 2 weeks ago! But yeah, I've been babying that side. Manually forcing it (literally) is actually making the ache recede. Weird.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My parents still have no power but are at the house of a relative who does for the night. No damage, and no street flooding so far.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's great to hear, Dana. I mean, could be better, obviously.

Is it possible for a jaw to pop out and then back into joint on one side doing something no more violent than taking a small bite from a not-tough wrap?
It happens to me a couple of times a week. Try moving your jaw back and forth sideways, pushing in on your chin or lying back with your neck on a pillow and your tongue on the top of your month. No, I don't know why those things help, but those are the things the TMJ guy told me to do. They all relax the jaw muscles.

Yeah, I'll take it. I'm not the one without A/C, but compared to any alternatives, it's good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
