So more venting from me about this last dentist I went to who said "she" didn't detect any signs or symptoms of TMJD. (Signs are objective, symptoms are more subjective, -- aren't they?)
Anyway,...
When I put my index fingers on my jaw joints, one finger on each joint, and open my mouth, the left joint opens WAY EARLIER than the right one! My mouth is about, (it looks like) 1/4 of the way open before *pop* -- then the right side decides to get in on the game and open too!!

Hi,
I have this problem too, everytime I open my mouth my jaw jerks to the left, if feel like my left side opens first,my pain is really painful, I seemed to have pain more on my left side, most of the time it is on both. It has gotten so bad I can harly eat and it hurts to talk....
your not alone! :) I am here for you...
take care,
Starr
