There will hopefully be no more ORN jaw pain like myself, and reduced swelling, but I don't think there will be much change in trismus to full extent as before treatment, just with what limitations ORN has caused, I had trismus before the ORN, and mouth opening is still about the same 12mm. I'm just glad it didn't get worse, and still able to eat. They watch me like a hawk here, but was able to sneak in a cup of coffee and a French crueller when i went for my test lol. All the swelling isn't down, more like the fibrosis, as it was there before. I read where doctors should be up front with their patients with this surgery not correcting everything. Several reason I had surgery was that my ENT recommended r it, so did another top oral surgeon for ORN, my health is at its best in 6 years, and all my other doctors; oncologist, radiation oncologists, nephrologist, primary gave their approval too.

I was around170 before surgery, gained 14 pounds of fluid from surgery to 184, as they weigh me here, and now down to 156lbs.
