Yea I had it after some dental work for a root canal.
They called it a Trismus. Me thinks the old slang is lockjaw.

I really do feel your pain, it sucked big time!!!!!!

It hurt so bad and would not go away, I eventuallty had to do physical therapy to get it corrected. It worked though after about 4 visits it loosened up and all was good.

They used ultrasonics and heat then push and pull.
