TMJ ?: You may have TMJ temperal mandibular joint syndrome. In other words, your jaw joint may be inflammed. The fact that this is worse in the morning is evidence that there may be some cyclic metabolic component to your problem. Have your doc check you out.

Progressive TMJ: The TMJ disk is out of position severely when you have locking. See TMJ expert ASAP.
