TMJ pain
The temporomandibular joint or TMJ acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. Dysfunction can lead to pain and discomfort. Jaw pain, difficulty chewing and clicking and locking of the jaw joint are some of the symptoms.
Trismus ( reduced mouth opening)
Trismus is commonly referred to as lockjaw and is usually due to sustained tetanic spasm of the muscles of mastication. Although it was initially described in the setting of tetanus, it is now used to refer to a bilateral restriction in mouth opening from any cause.
Myofacial pain dysfunction Syndrome (Facial Muscle pain)
Myofascial pain syndrome is a chronic pain disorder. In this condition, pressure on sensitive points in your muscles (trigger points) causes pain in the muscle and sometimes in seemingly unrelated parts of your body. This is called referred pain.
