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.

Thanks so much for all the great info on this site. I was diagnosed with AS about 8 years ago, although had early symptoms at least 10 years before that which went away for a while.
Just recently (within the last month) my jaw has become involved, and I really didn't know if it was AS related or not - but what each of you has described here makes me realize it is. I suppose I'm glad to know that - not some other random thing going on!
