Jaw Pain

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced jaw pain since having the surgery. When I eat sometimes my jaw catches and hesitates to close....sometimes its very painful. Any input is helpfull thank you!

I have those problems too but not from the surgery. I have TMJ but it gets locked because I clench it so tight all the time. Just try to relax your mouth and get heat compresses to the joints to loosen them up, that will help a little too. If it is the worst when you wake up you could be grinding your teeth at night (like me) and can try using a mouth guard to prevent it. Hope this helps

Could be that when they intubated you, they dislocated your jaw...and you might have TMJ.  Might want to talk to your dentist...either way, you need to get it looked at because left untreated it can lead to a lot more problems and pain...take it from one who knows.
