I am recovering from palatectomy. I was getting better then I started having more frequent headaches, fatigue and pain in the gums. I still have stitches and wounds healing. It's as if the teeth hurt.

It seems that the exercises below and chewing solids have something to do with it. Maybe I should do more liquid foods.

Since I have trismus, I started doing exercises and forcing my mouth open.


Dx 10/06 Adenoid Cystic carcinoma; Stage I. Soft palate/minor salivary glands.
