Got rocked in sparring... Jaw locked up

[ssdd]

So I was sparring today, nice and easy at first but then my partner wanted to go a little harder, so I started throwing harder combos (still not really hard), and he's just standing there covering up a bit but still getting hit by like 2 out of 3 punches, so I step back wondering WTF he's doing, then he throws a quick hook and cracks me right in the right side of my jaw. I saw stars the room started getting dark and I backed up and told him to chill for a second. Not a huge deal since he's even less experienced than I am and it wasn't totally intentional, but now it feels like I have TMJ the left side of my jaw is all tight and sore when I bite down or open my mouth wide- will this subside and am I just freakin out, or should I go see a doctor?

Have him hit you on the other side now.

Tell your coach that your jaw has been bugging you and just lay off sparring for a week. Chew lots of gum and ice it, if it still hurts after a week see your doctor

Dont worry it'll pass . If u had broken or dislocated your jaw , trust me , you wouldnt be posting for medical advice on an MMA/MT forum....you would know !

You took a good hit to the Jaw. it should be sore. You would know if it is truly injured.
