I have trismus after wisdom teeth extractions hurts like the dickens and can only open mouth about 1 inch

This : This is common after removal of wisdom teeth. Lots of heat via pad to your jaws and Ibuprofen should take care of it. If not, return to the dentist who removed them for further help and guidance.
