Large bump in my jaw joint

I have been playing for 5 years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I have developed some sort of lump on both sides of my jaw right on the joint. It developed the next day after a performance I had at my school. For that performance my teacher had taught me a new position for my embouchure, but right after that performance, I developed two little bumps on both sides on my jaw. There was some pain after I would practice but it was bearable. It was there for over a month and it did not get any better. I later went on vacation for a few weeks and the size of the lumps got smaller. When I got back and started practicing again, the lump on one side of my jaw is much worse than before and I am unable to open my mouth all the way unless I pop it by yawning which actually hurts. I have never had this before and I don't really know to get rid of this after having it for almost 4 months. I have been trying to look around on the internet but there is not much luck. Have any of you had this before and if so, is it something I need to worry about and how would I help it without taking a break from practicing?
