Ouch! I had my wisdom teeth extraction today(4 of them pulled coming in horizontally:shakeshead:) and let me tell you it sucks! I was awake during the entire operation which I don't really regret because everything ran smoothly and I was put through very minimal pain(completely numb) except when they jab the top of your mouth to numb it.
Anyways I started hurting like hell with chronic pain about 2 hours later, fortunately I started on my painkiller medication now(and I thought I was tough enough to handle it:rofl:). Plus, I can only eat yogurt and pudding right now(potatoes tomorrow, big step up I know). Has anyone else had to gone through this hell?
Ooooo, I forgot the one pro of the entire situation, the surgery drugs mess you up pretty good...

Yeah, I was out for 2 weeks after my surgery. My face was swollen 2x it's original size, the pain meds made me throw up - I couldn't win. Some people are miserable after this surgery, and others are just completely fine.
Just remember it is temporary, and you will be feeling better in the near future. Take your meds, eat lots of cold food (milkshakes and ice cream always felt good in the back of my mouth) - and you'll be back to normal before you know it. Hang in there.
