Hi. My name is Holly. I have just been diagnosed with Trismus and am looking for support and direction from people who have experienced this. I am currently on so many medications for pain control that I can't stay awake long enough to do the exercises required. I've been told my trigeminal nerve is more likely involved so I'm on Neurontin, Trileptal, Trental, vit E, Oxycontin, Celebrex. And with all of this and more I am still having too frequent breakthrough pain in my ear, jaw, and face on the radiated side. Do any of you who also suffer from Trismus have this much pain and how soon can I hope to get relief after doing the exercises? Is my pain normal?
