Hi I'm dickworwel, I was diagnosed three and a half years ago with head and neck and recieved 37 doses of radio and weekly Chemo.
I am in not bad shape, but quality of life has really dropped. I am affected by Trismus compounded from a bad accident while on holiday.I have a 19mm opening and using a Therabite to hopefully help this issue,
currently I have been experiencing difficulty when I start chewing on a new meal. Initially, its almost as though the muscles below my jaw line in the Thorax region were seized up and I must really work hard to free them up to get them to allow my jaws to work, after 2 or 3 minutes they seem to start working easier..
This is a recent handicap, following on from the cramping experiences I was told to expect 4 months ago. I get these cramps/spasms up the sides of my neck area particularly after a yawn or such like. These cramps are extremely unpleasant.
I suppose I'm asking the community as to the commonality of these symptoms, there are others but not just so unpleasant as these .
