I am a 17 years male. I had heavy ache in my right side jaw joint 6 months before. Also, I could not open my mouth. It was terrible that I was not even able to yawn! every-time I opened my mouth, it ended with a crack sound in my right side jaw joint. A doctor I consulted took xray of mouth and said that it was the upper right wisdom tooth which has grown slightly bent, was distrubing the jaws. He also operated removed it. Until then I experience slight pain in the same region and periodically I am not able to open my mouth, and it feels like muscles at right jaw joint is hardened and it pains a lot! what is the real problem here. I also feel like a new teeth growing down from the place of the upper right wisdom teeth which the doctor removed. What should I do now?

Sir, it seems that you have a problem in your temporo- mandibular joint it the joint that separates the jaw bone from the skull. You should go and see an ENT or maxillofascial surgeon.
