The mandibular whatsit though - they did say if I've still pain in 2 weeks, it requires invasive complicated surgery to rectify  Don't quite understand what that injury is, but it's related to the top of the mandible not being able to descend when the jaw opens wide, which is why it's painful as heck after opening 20mm |
Yah man, the mandible joint is a bitch. Your jaw is kind of important. Hopefully they won't have to sew your jaw shut.
I have a doctors appt in a few to see if i'm developing an infection in my crushed fingers that lost fingernails. The bastards better give me a refill on my percocets cause they still hurt a LOT.
