Hi Sharon, yes that is worrying that you still have it one year down the track. I'm due for dental work which I've put off till next year - hopefully I'll be able to open my mouth by then eek



I've just got back from the acupuncturist now actually - it definetly feels loser but I can still only just get 2 fingers in. The acupuncturist said if this doesn't work we could try acupuncture with an electro current to really stimulate the muscle- sounds a bit scary though!

It's hard to work out if its muscle or joint in nature though
