I get some clicking and stiffness that goes away when I exercise my jaw regularly. I hope that you can get some relief.

yeah, occassionally, my jaw starts popping uncontrollably in mid-sentence or while eating, it is usually quite painful.

I suffer from inflammation and pain in the left jaw joint. Sometimes it is so bad it feels like a lump in there and I am unable to chew or yawn without pain, nor move my jaw to the right. Sometimes I can't open my mouth wide enough to put a small spoon in. The only relief I get is from anti-inflammatories eg: Feldene D, but it never goes away completely. An expensive mouth splint worn for weeks has not helped at all.
