I Can Not Open My Jaw Fully Because Of Pain

I Can not open my jaw fully because of pain at left side. For the second time doctor advised me that it is because of muscle tenderness and prescribed pain killer. How come all of a sudden my tissue becomes tender? Is there any other option to cross verify this diagnosis?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query , as you have pain in opening mouth dont worry this pain can be due to Temporomandibular disorder in this joint is tender. For this you should consult oral surgeon for examination of joint and if needed you can go for investigations like TMJ Sectional view to rule outncause of pain.
Inmeantime do Hot formentation , Avoid excessive mouth opening , take soft diet , you can take medicine like Myospaz forte or flexon MR for pain by consulting with your local doctor .

Hope this will help you.
