HiJhall,

That pop could have been the jaw joint. But that would not really account for the bad taste.

It is best to go back to the OS, explain what happened and let him take a look. He should check your TMJ joint on both sides of your mouth to see if they are lined up or in spasm.

Ever since that side has been hurting and Tylenol helps but I'm concerned as to what it could be. Any advice is appreciated!
