With less than three fingers, you definitely have Trismus. It's been over 3 years for me, and I still have to do my Therabite exercises 5 times a day, each and every day. My jaw muscles ache, especially on the left side where I had the neck dissection. When you see your doctor again, ask about a new prescription for a speech therapist to work with you (even if you had it before - I am on my fourth round of therapists)
