Thanks Anne for your input! I still have the swelling but it seems to have gone down some...I put ice on it only for 15 min at a time during the day and evening and also gently massage the swelling. It seems to help, but very slowly. I hope the fact that I cannot open my mouth to well is because of the swelling. I have been told to keep doing my mouth and jaw exercises and I have...but it's kinda difficult with the swelling.
