Mine was caused by radiation damage to the joints in my jaw and scar tissue. It doesnt suddenly come and go, I always have trismus. This is something I cannot change and I am ok with it. Ive learned to adapt to my situation., things could be so much worse.
Please remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. TUMS????? LOL!!!!!!
