Surgeon Wants to Stretch Jaw Muscle

Hi all!

I had lower jaw surgery 17 days ago, and I have a question about

stretching. My OS had me in rubber bands for 8 days, and then when he

cut them off, he said I wasn't opening my mouth nearly wide enough. He

gave me PT exercises to do and said he would put me under and stretch

my jaw muscle joint if I had not gotten my mouth to open three fingers

by Wednesday, Aug. 3. When I went in for the Aug. 3 appointment, I

asked him for another week to do exercises to see how much I

progressed because I had gotten my mouth to open two fingers. He

agreed, but felt sure he would need to stretch me on my next

appointment - Wednesday, Aug. 10. Has anyone had this done? What's it

like? Did your OS also knock you out to do it, or did s/he do it while

you were awake?

I'd appreciate any information.

Thanks!

Pam
