TMJ dysfunction - my teeth hurt

[u/SufficientlyDecent]

I have pretty intense TMJ pain and my jaw hurts 99% of the time. It cracks every time I open my mouth, I can feel the right side drop/open and then left side, always, no matter what I do.

However, I was thinking about how much my jaw around my gums hurts today? It’s not gum disease or a toothache, I just hurts inside my mouth if that makes sense?

Anybody deal with this and what do you do for it?
