Hi,

I have had trismus since my radiation in '06 (full mouth - 66gy) for oral cancer. I'm at a about 1.5mm - unfortunately it was better in earlier years. I have used and continue to use Therabite system (oral/jaw stretcher) - if I don't use daily - it gets worse. I also tried Dynasplint (ENT recommended based on some patients favorable response) - but found it painful and quit after a couple of months. I don't really have pain from trismus (still alot of mucositis) but it is terribly limiting as far as eating - plus I can't eat anything spicy or crunchy (really miis the chips and crackers) - but of course very thankful to be alive. Hope this helps - good luck - keep trying with doctors'(ask your radiolist too) advise what will help you.
