Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I'm so glad to hear that the therabite is working for you. I think it's so nice compared to the popsicle stick method. Anyway, what I wanted to say was you should be so thankful for your doctor. I had my cartiledge slip out on my left side years ago (I used to get open locked jaw & during a dental procedure it locked open but the stupid dentist didn't realize it & forced my mouth closed pushing the cartiledge out). I wasn't offered a way to put it back I was just given time & when that didn't help another doctor sedated me & manually stretched my jaw which I recommend to no one. It worked but with horrible pain for days. Another girl who had her surgery not long after mine had her's slip out during surgery- her name was Cindy. She went by nice-to-smile. She lives in Florida & probably has her hands full now but I will try to send an email soon & see how everything turned out for her. She wanted it just put back in place but at the time if I recall they didn't give her an option of that. Take care & post an update.
