If it is related to a dental procedure, see your dental specialist immediately. The dental professional will probably prescribe prednisone in staggered doses for a period of six days. If you catch it early enough (like after two days and realize that it is just not stiffness from the procedure), many clients find significant relief in the pain and pressure within hours. Obviously, it is always dependent upon on your condition and response to the prescription.
Trismus
Royal Pains - 2009 A Trismus Story 5-12 was released on: USA: 4 September 2013
Trismus is the inability of the mouth to fully open.
masticator space or laterla pharengeal space
trismus, a pathological condition in which the mouth is held shut by sustained spasm of the masseter (jaw) muscle, often observed in cases of tetanus
Five weeks seems too long! I would seek a medical dr instead of the oral surgeon who did it in the first place. I have my wisdom teeth out two weeks ago and can only open my mouth 19 mm....it hurts so bad, and they told me it was Trismus. My sympathies!
Tetanus is the medical term for the condition commonly known as lockjaw.
Trismus is restruction of the opening of the mouth due to spasm.
