TMJ? See a dentist: It sounds like you may have a muscle spasm causing you the pain and the problem with opening. There are several possible causes. You need to see a dentist to get a definite diagnosis. In the mean time you can try gentle stretching, advil, (ibuprofen) soft diet and time to see if it goes away.
