Yes, apparently I have lockjaw from a severe tooth abscess
Had root canal redone (not completed last time and has been grumbling for a couple of years) last week as we knew it was as possibility the infection might flare again. Hopefully that should be the end of it as there shouldn't anywhere for the little bugs to hide anymore and the Abs are clearing the infection nicely.
However...I can't open my mouth and the dentist said its trismus, like lockjaw! Has anyone had it, how quick did it clear up. Its really achey and annoying but nor really painful as such. Will I be like this forever
