trt, I'll bet I have read 1000 t imes here how important it is to fight to keep stretching your jaw muscles to make your mouth open. Painful- but very important. There are stretching exercises posted on OCF, try a search for them. Get as much rest as you can so your body can channel it's energy toward healing. Set your goals for a day or a week at a time as you progress through treatments. Keep on keeping on. Amy in the Oz.
