[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the surgery and your response to the trauma is sounds like you had swelling and some muscle splinting.  If you have limited jaw opening I recommend a few exercises to help increase mobility and ease the pain in your jaw:Take a tube sock, fill it with white rice, microwave for two minutes, when it is cool enough that it doesn't burn place in over your jaw joints 20 minutes on 10 minutes off for 1 hour three times a day for 5 days. This is warm moist heat that penetrates deep into the muscles and helps clean out the lactic acid build up causing some discomfort.  This will also help increase blood flow to help deliver anti inflammatory better. Take Motrin (Ibuprofen) 600 mg every 6 hours for 5 days, do not Chat Doctor.  Do not exceed 3200 mg a day and do not take if pregnant.  Gently open your mouth, if it is restricted gently force it open further with your pointer finger and thumb in a scissoring manner.  Do this for 20 minutes twice a day until mobility improves.  Follow all of this with plenty of water to wash out the lactic acids built up in the muscles.  8 8oz glasses a day.  Follow up with your dentist if problems persist. Best regards
