Melissa, Therabite is a great tool. I've used mine off and on since this all began. I may not be using it aggressively enough, but I do make tiny gains when I use it regularly. I'm concerned about the 'leather vs rubber band' issue. Is it scarring that limits the motion, or is it the permanent change in the tissue of the muscles?

Even if I get my mough open further, will the muscles be flexible enough to maintain the range of motion, or will they just settle, again, into a short range cause thats all they can do??!! I am most interested to hear more about the experiences of others. The reading on trismus is not satisfactory. Tom J
