I'm keeping my jar relaxed. I'm under stress and anxiety, must have been clenching my jaw. My doctor said it would hurt me, and it did.

My ear feels stuffy. Not really painful. Crepitus sounds in my ear. I was told years ago I had it. But it never seemed to be an issue. Lucky I guess.

It pops when I open it too far. So far, I can open it with just the popping clicking sound.

I had brief tinnitus for a few seconds last night

Thank you!
