Been to oral and maxofacial 9 times and all i get new appointment where i feel that i have very bad pain in my right bottom side off jaw and left top side and its make click and popping sound when i eat or speak that make me stop going out with friends for food and uncomfortable and jaws get locked when i wake up in the or in the morning.
