Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 For both of you: One surgeon, not my own, suggested that when you feel a yawn coming on, put your hand or fist under your jaw, and support the opening. Otherwise, it's uncontrolled, and can indeed be troublesome. Hope this helps. Cammie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Oh! yikes! I am banded right now... yawning actually as I write this.... I feel the tug a little in my right jaw joint. It is more swollen than that other and maybe that is why. I wish I would stop yawning!!! Good luck with yours. How much longer until you are unwired???

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 No, according to my surgeon, it's not good, but if you are concerned about your joints, you should talk with your surgeon. And try the fist-under-your-chin trick to prevent that uncontrolled opening. It really works. > > Is the uncontrolled yawn not good for joint? Is that why it isn't > good????

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I am planning to ask the surgeon, and in the meantime I have been trying to support my jaw when I feel a yawn coming... hard when it comes out of no where!!! I am a little freaked out about the fist under the chin though because I also had a genio.... but I am supporting the jaw now. Thanks!!! Katja > > > > Is the uncontrolled yawn not good for joint?
