For as long as I can remember myself, I have been doing this weird thing- upon awakening, I press on both my jaw joints witn my hands untill they click real loud. then i'm OK, relatively speaking. Like i said, I've been doing this for years, and though it was a normal thing. is it another TMJ thing, in your opinion? thanks to everybody who will respond to this.

Pressing on your jaws in this manner will only make your problems worse. You should never force your jaws to click or crack. Have you been diagnosed with TMJ?
