I've been having jaw pain and discomfort on the side of my face, and I just realized there's a clicking sound when I open and close my mouth on the left side. Could this be TMJ? What exercises or treatments can help without needing surgery?

Yes, the jaw pain, discomfort, and clicking sound on one side could be indicative of a Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder. However, it's important to see a dentist or doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Numerous non-surgical options can help manage the pain and clicking, including physical therapy, medications, dietary changes, and home remedies
