If you can take asprin combiniing it with the sctetometaphin/opioid will kick the ass out of nearly any pain. For some reason they stopped Rxing Asprin/codine combinations for stomach reasons but if you don't normaly have an issue with asprin then it'll work wonders. I use that combination myself often.

Ok, bleeding has basically stopped. I'm feeling pretty good except that now my jaw muscles and my molars seem to be...sore (?) It's difficult to describe the feeling but it's as if I've been chewing gum for days and my jaw muscles and the molar teeth are feeling...tired. I'm wondering if it's because the molars now have room to move it's pushing backwards?

Anyone else had this sensation after the extraction?

Just the thought turns me inside out, I'm 35 and got my first cavity filled last month, I thought I was going to pass out...lol. My first dentist told me that the enamel on my teeth was so hard that no matter what I did I'd die with all my teeth, so I was lax for years (flossing, not brushing), finally going to the dentist gave me a rude awakening.

The good news is that I'm good to go for another 35 years...lol.

Oh man.. 3 of my 4 were impacted. General anesthesia.. the works. But, I got some scripts for Vicodin which I only used once for the pain in my jaw.

Step 1.
Step 2.
Step 3.
Repeat as necessary.

You're probably being paranoid. If it continues go back and have the dentist oral surgeon check it out for infection.

The only pain I had was a swelling around the sockets. The stiches prevented the irritated skin from expanding (as it swelled up), and put pressure on the wounds. Kinda sucked, but man, getting those stiches out felt like a load of bricks removed.

my stiches dissolves, so no need to remove them.

went to the doc today for post-op checkup, all clear and all good. the tooth pain i'm feeling is because he had to use force to make room to wiggle the wisdomes out, he said.
