[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you can talk about "locking your jaw," but the phrase "lockjaw" s.
pecifically refers to tetanus
A dentist would be the best specialist for this. Did a dentist prescribe the mouth guard, and if so, have you readdressed this problem with them?[/quote]

no one thinks that anymore[/quote]

I[b] do! I came on here to see who had tetanus and how a mouth guard would help. Or hurt.[/quote][/b]

I've never heard of anyone having lockjaw in real life and I'm ancient.  That's why we have the shots.[/quote]

I’m OP and I’ve never had tetanus nor do I know what lockjaw caused by tetanus is like. I’m assuming it’s similar to what happens to me when my jaw locks when I wear a mouth guard?

Basically, I can’t get my mouth fully open. I can actually talk to ok, just can’t scream and yell. I can eat and chew ok but because I can’t get my jaw open wide, I have to cut up small enough. It hurts to try to get my mouth open wider. It loosens up a bit daily until I’m back to normal. It’s happened twice and is so uncomfortable and it really makes me paranoid that my jaw will lock forever so I just wont risk it again by wearing the mouth guard. [/quote]
