Guest guest Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Hi All!! I've uploaded some current pix. For those of you who are new or don't remember (and why should you remember everyone's surgery details?)I had surgery July 8 for an underbite, I had the upper advanced 5 mm and the lower moved back 3 mm. At the 5 week point I started to have severe joint pain after 2 weeks Dr. said I had a dislocated cartiladge, I was only openong 12 mm at that point. I then went through a series of PT and home exercises (and lots of pain meds). Today I opened to 35 mm. Not bad huh? So for those of you ore-oppers wondering how long before you are back to normal you can see that by 3 months I am almost back to normal and I had a few weeks set back. The pix are under links/photo albums/Marsha's photos. I can't believe it is almost over!! Marsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
