What Causes Popping Of Muscles While Yawning?
Hello Doctor. I am curious for the last month or so maybe once or twice a day when I yawn, there is a muscle/ligament {my guess} that feels like it pops or unravels. It forms a very painful ball when this occurs. and usually if I put pressure on it it goes away, the lump, while the pain stays for quite some time. can you direct me toward what I could call this. so I could research it
