10 Symptoms of TMJ
Symptom #4: Restricted Jaw Movement
Our jaws are usually quite flexible and can be moved with ease. We usually do so without even thinking about it, but it can be very difficult when a condition restricts the movement of our jaws. People with TMJ disorder will often find that the movement of their jaw is limited at times, which can make things quite awkward for them.
Being unable to move their jaw freely can make simple tasks such as eating and talking difficult. The muscles and the joint itself can become very stiff, making it difficult to move the jaw at all. It can be particularly stiff after long periods of inactivity meaning that movement is likely to be restricted most often in the mornings.
