Re: my jaw is always so tight
i used to have the same situation as you. i could open around 11mm and was on the liquid/mush diet for 8 months. I just chewed for the first time yesterday. It was pretty exciting, haha! to loosen up your jaw, i put a warm moist heating pad on or just a warm washcloth. then start to open your mouth and move it laterally. the warmness will help the muscles...at least for a little bit afterwards... it doesnt provide long term relief, but it helps!
