I have had TM almost 7 years and have sort of hit a plateau. Because I was in a coma and came out paralyzed from the jaw down, it took approx. 1 1/2 years to get much of anything back but eventually I got back my upper body strength and little movement below the hips. The pain hasn't gotten any worse (though I think that would be impossible)............Ella
