Consultant checked and said scar tissue is very tight which is why I can't open mouth very far. The have given me a Therabite machine to strech scar tissue and strengthen my jaw. Anyone else used on of these.

I haven’t but I know people who have done well with these. You have to be absolutely rigid with your routine as trismus can be permanent. 
hugs. 

I've got to use it 5 - 7 times a day. 

How are you finding it?

They only gave it to me today, so I will let ypu know. They went through it all on how to use it. My speech therapist had it with her because I'd already spoken to her on the phone. 

Thanks....look forward to hearing how you get on with it

Hi Like  Daninsays we both know people who have successfully used the therabite machine ,they found it difficult tonstart  with but persevere as trimus can  be permanent. one of the ladies never thought she would be able to eat out but she goes away several times a year and eats normally well as normal as any of us can. It’s not a quick fix but stick with it
