Hi Martin gets that. He can only yawn with his mouth almost closed. If he forgets he gets lock jaw. Sometimes as well he gets a sort of tingling in the jaw and it's the start of a jaw cramp. He does get the pain in the lower jaw every so often with a little swelling but that usually goes after a day or so and some massaging. The pain in the jaw has always been there and never gone away for Martin.
