Re: [Orthognathic Surgery Support ]stretching exercises and pain

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, I had TMJ problems before the surgery, and was

wondering if people out there who have had TMJ problems before surgery,

while they did stretching exercises AFTER the surgery, did it hurt back

by the ear? Of course, I will be asking my surgeon, when I see him next

week, but I was just wondering if anyone else has that problem of pain

while opening wide (or as wide as you possibly can)

Thanks for any replies!

Hey , sounds like your jaw is doing much better. Isn't 30-35mm

the normal range? I think I was at 34mm when my doctor told me I

could stop the stretching exercises.

Hope your stomach problem clears up soon or gets diagnosed today.

Well, the surgeon was telling me that if they moved my lower jaw forward

it " might " help with the TMJ, but they couldn't guarantee it. I was

kind of hoping this surgery would fix it, so that's why I was asking,

because I've read other posts that people get this surgery done to

correct TMJ problems. I sure hope I don't have to have more surgery,

but I'm only 24 days post op, so it may be a little soon to tell, but it

does " hurt " on one side when I do the mouth stretching exercises.

Thanks for the input

If you had joint pain before the surgery I would think you

would have it after the surgery too, unless the surgery corrected a

very major problem of some sort, like a severe deformity that put

some sort of pressure on the joint as teeth came together. I had

TMJ surgery last year which corrected a few problems with my left

joint. They do them seperatly LOU-

The TMJ surgery for me was a piece of cake compared to this

surgery. I had my ligament shortened and stitched and the disc was

reworked to fit. I wouldn't even put it in the same catagory as

lower upper jaw work. If my right side was causing constant pain I

would have surgery done in a heartbeat. My experience though. LOU
