Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 1,116 | I have them too, very, very painful.....I know it doesn't last long, but it feels like forever. I don't know of anything that helps, only that I am so happy when it ends! I still use my therabite on occasion. My new P/T told me I have about 70 percent opening of my mouth now...that is good, but I really need to keep working with the therabite, why did I go into all of that? Not sure....have a great day everybody! Carol
