Well saw the surgeon today....
I am now elastic less, he said my bite was so good he was going to free me, though I am still on no chew for at least another 2 weeks until I see him again on thursday 28th..
It feels odd without them, and my jaw is aching a bit since (I hadnt taken any painkillers this morning and didnt until about 3.30pm) though that could be due to the lack of restraints
I asked him about the TMJ and he said nothing he had done would cause it, he isnt sure why Im getting the locked feeling more but it 'could' be due to the muscles not being where they want to be, he said it should settle down as the jaw gets used to its new position but to see how I get on the next few weeks
He was really impressed about the lack of swelling and bruising and was also impressed about the feeling I have back in my lips
So all is good!
