Trying to get Waypoint to update Halo 3 stats in detail like here. Now no one can see that my Halo 3 Spartan no longer looks like my Reach Spartan.

Really want to be a Heroic member or have a title. :/

Is anyone reading this a doctor or dentist? I am having jaw problems. I was fine the entire Thanksgiving weekend. Than on Monday, I was sitting in my room playing Halo 3 and I had a yawn. When I tried to yawn, I found that my mouth would not open all the way. It opened enough to eat and talk but it wouldn't open all the way. I started panicking because I'm a hypochondriac when it comes to diseases. So, I tried to open my mouth all the way and then I felt a snap and pop on the left side of my jaw and my mouth opened.

For the rest of the night, I was only able to open my mouth all the way by snapping it open or moving my jaw to the side and maneuvering it open. I constantly snapped it open to try to get it to stop but to no avail. So, I just decided to close my mouth the rest of the night.

I woke up this morning and, to my pleasure, I could open my mouth completely without it popping open. Then I had a pop tart. My the left side of the jaw (the side that popped) was very sore and whenever I chewed or bit from the left side, it felt uncomfortable. Like it was going to slide out of the socket.

It is not sore at the moment but it does feel a little sore when I open my mouth wide and I still feel the uncomfortable feeling when I chew on the left side. Everything online is pointing to TMJ, but the main symptom is popping and it doesn't pop anymore.

Long story short, my jaw wouldn't open up all the way on Sunday unless I forced it open which caused it to snap open on the left. I kept doing this the rest of the night and the next morning it would not snap anymore when I opened my mouth all the way, but I now can only chew on the right side because if I chew on the left side, my jaw feels uncomfortable like its about to slide out.

Does anyone know what I have and if I should be concerned? Thanks!

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Sounds like me. I have TMD/TMJ. Consult an oral surgeon.

If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

It could just be you pulled the muscle in your jaw, If the symptoms linger for more than a few days see a real doctor about it if it is affecting your everyday things.

Also Bobscast is the one to ask on the flood.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

Why don't you go, uh I don't know, CALL AN ACTUAL DOCTOR?

Seriously, what do you expect to gain from a forum full of 99% teenagers.

Yes, I know my username is the 330th sequel to a terrible movie. You don't have to keep telling me.

You have TMJ, like I do. You might have to get headgear, man. If not, then braces.

We're all doctors here.

You know what? I am a teenager myself and I do have a doctor's appointment scheduled. I just asked here because I want a quick answer so that I have some idea of whats wrong. If you don't have anything productive to say, why did you even post here?

I'm tired of all the damned hating that goes on around here.

Take a few Paracetamol and rinse your mouth with salt water if it still hurts.

But if you have a doctors appointment, then you just need to wait it out.

Glad I'm not the only one. Sounds like my initial symptoms.
