Trismus getting worse! does any one know of other treatments??? botox, cortisone stretch while sedated, anything! Have seen the hospital physio and she srtetched my mouth last week and have tried at home with tongue depresors. The pain is the worst I have had from everything including the main surgery and my mouth is geting worse. I bought a tiny tooth brush but if I lose one more mm I wount get that in inside my mouth. it also is starting to affect speach. Teeth exactly 1mm apart at full stretch! Help!
