How To Treat Dislocated Jaw?

Help i think my jaw is dislocated? what do i do?Well i was diagnosed with TMJ but im starting to think its something deeper. When I open my mouth it pops to the left then when i shut it it pops back up right then shut. Sometimes i get this intense pressure and the only thing that relieves it is HEAT. it does cause me ear pain but only on this one side i dont have any of these symptoms on the one side .I never had them until my ent put his hands on my cheeks and told me to open now when i wake up i experience all of this. I think its either a jaw that is off track or dislocated. I never had tmj until the day he said i did i NEVER had symptoms like this. I am going to see a chiropractor thursday to see if something can be done. Does it sound like TMJ or Something slid out of place? It sounds feels/sounds to me something isnt where it should be.I can chew and drink but it has to be slowly.. What are some tips i can do to relieve this until thursday?? Its making me depressed and panic.also when my jaw pops out it gets stuck a little i have to force it back over.
