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...

I only had uppers and they came in one year apart. Both were pulled when they broke through as they had nothing to meet up with on the bottom. I had it really easy - only needed novocaine and laughing gas (good stuff!).
Sorry to hear yours were so tough. I did have oral surgery last year for a root canal issue and they suggested using cold packs in addition to the meds. It really helped with the swelling. Good luck & feel better!
