Anyway, I bought a therabyte, which I still use, I paid about $300 for it (insurance would not cover it). I also rented a device called a Dynasplint for about $90 a month, insurance covered the difference. That thing really got my mouth opened, I used it about 9 months, turned it back in and began using the therabyte again, which I still try to use at least once a day...Love, Carol p.s. I can get you more information on the dynasplint if you want it.
