RE: Re: Getting Unwired - Jaw Reaction Question

May 24, 2005

mmm. .. one thing that i have found to help the joint soreness and sometimes

the sharp pain is using a heat/warm pack. it relaxes the muscles and also

stimulates blood flow in that area. .. just because the splint/wires are off

doesn't mean that it's all good. .. it's probably the end of one phase of

the recovery, and the beginning of rehab and a long relearning process.

-0000 & gt; & gt;, & gt;Thanks so much for your feedback. I'd

really appreciate any personal & gt;experience you can share once you get

unwired. & gt;Carol & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; & gt; I was just thinking

about what will happen when I get unwired and & gt; & gt; was & gt; & gt;

& gt; hoping to get some feedback from folks who have been there. I & gt;

& gt; always & gt; & gt; & gt; thought that because the jaw muscles were in

the same position & gt;for & gt; & gt; so & gt; & gt; & gt; long I would

have to retrain them on how to open properly and & gt;then & gt; & gt;

how & gt; & gt; & gt; to move around. While talking about it the other day

someone & gt;said & gt; & gt; to & gt; & gt; & gt; me & quot;what if the

jaw muscles are so lax that your lower jaw just & gt; & gt; falls & gt;

& gt; & gt; open and you don't have the strength to close it?! & quot; So,

of & gt; & gt; course, & gt; & gt; & gt; now my mind is racing. Thoughts?

Opinions? Personal stories? & gt; & gt; & gt; Thanks in advance for your

help! & gt; & gt; & gt; Carol & gt; & gt;
