It takes alot of hard work to make progress. I am not a doctor nor medical professional. As a patient and a well informed OCF member, I unfortunately know about trismus first hand. There isnt an easy way to fix it.
When looking up info on the internet, take what you find with a grain of salt. This is why OCF is monitored. This prevents the members from passing around false cures. I agree with Charm, give it a try and please come back and tell us how you made out.
