Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | My physical therapist also does intra/extra oral massage to help trismis. I'm certain all of these things should help, but it is a problem that needs to get addressed immediately because it will only get worse. The doctors shouldn't have let it go this long.
Take care,
