My mother has developed trimus after surgery in january
She is now on a feeding tube because she cannot open her mouth to eat. She had tongue depressors and the therabite system. Her speech is muffled and she has to write things for us to understand her. He doctors are not giving us any conclusive information as to why she is in soooooo much pain she is on daluadid and has a a patch on her arm for pain. She lost a tooth the other day just came right out from the root. She still spits blood clots. I do not know what to do. We think that after surgery there maybe some gauze packing or some other material left inside her. Would an MRI pick that up. Her doctors are scratching their heads and we need answers. Currently at UPENN in Philadelphia
