Woman’s Jaw Stuck Wide Open After Yawning

Jenna Sinatra shares her exciting life on social media. However, in a video she posted, Sinatra is heading to the emergency room. After she yawned, the New Jersey woman says she suddenly found herself with her jaw locked in place. The local emergency room gave her muscle relaxers to relax her jaw. She then says four people helped shove her jaw back together. Inside Edition’s Alison Hall has more.

People in the street wondering why she's so shocked

Imagine being a metal singer and having this happen on stage while you're screaming.

If it happens to you don't panic. First relax, tilt your head back as far as you can, and gently try to shift it back in. Tilting your head back is the essential key.

The funniest thing is them mentioning "she shares her exciting life on social media".

I'm so so so so so sorry for this...having TMJ issues myself, I am absolutely terrified of this!

[AnthonyRizzo-ob]

Inside edition never fails to make me scared of normal things

what is jenna doing on inside edition?😭

[stonebone]

Ive had this happen before briefly. Not nearly as bad as hers. Thankfully mine corrected itself within a few seconds but its pretty terrifying when it happened.

The Irony is that yawning is contagious. So this video likely made most of the viewers yawn. I yawned twice while watching 🤣

I love how the other girl was so calm when she said "She has lockjaw"

[InfiniteTony]

Happens to me all the time but right before it can lock into place I immediately close my mouth, the feeling hurts everytime lol

"stepbro help, my jaw is stuck"

[DonnaChelle]

I have severe TMJ and I have problems with my jaw locking open after I yawn also but it also gets locked closed at times. I’ve wore bite guards and taken medication which didn’t help to much, my jaw clicks in and out of place all the time but after years of this I’ve gotten used to it and it’s not quite as bad as it was in the beginning, thank goodness!

Thanks for making me afraid of yawning

[Adam_Confidential]

Why did her boyfriend have a different story as to how her Jaw became locked? 😂

[countrygirlxo]

I’ve had this happen once, I freaked out and popped it back into place by forcing my jaw shut. Hurt but was worth it. Never happened again thank god

[TheMouseAvenger]

That happened to me TWICE. :-(.It hurts like hell!

[harpiessnow]

"What does a muscle relaxer do?" I can't

[SkyeonX]

I’m scared of this happening to me.
There been many times I’ve yawned and my jaw started to hurt. 😞
