Hi doctor,
Whenever I yawn sometimes it feels like I pulled something, and on my bottom jaw I push on it and something goes up.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Your upper and lower jaw are connected with a joint called temperomandibular joint. Similarly we have elbow joint and knee joint. The lower jaw is movable only because of this joint. So whenever you yawn, sounds like that joint is rubbing high and that is why you feel that something is going up. You might be able to hear a clicking noise as well if I am not wrong. If you are feeling sore at your joint every time after yawning, please visit a GP and he or she might give you a script for this like a muscle relaxant.
