The most common cause of jaw joint problem could be an irregular alignment of teeth and imbalance in chewing forces. You have to visit an orthodontist for this problem to be solved.

My suggestion would be to get consulted by a dentist immediately. Clicking and pain on opening and closing could be due to various reasons, most commonly disorders of the temporomandibular joint or stress induced myofunctional pain. A proper diagnosis is important to start on a treament plan.
