I hope your problem resolves itself. I wouldnt like having an exploratory surgery either. Oh yeah, almost forgot about the trismus. I have that too and my docs told me that dont worry, when they put me out that they are able to stretch my mouth open wider than I can when Im awake. Not sure how and I dont think I want the details but when I wake up I normally dont hurt in my jaw area.
Good luck with everything!
