Currently on day 3 and I am so done 😣.
Got my lower wisdom tooth removed friday and it was a hard removal from what the surgeon said. It was impacted and part of it stuck on the bone. The actual surgery wasnt so bad and I was awake for it. First morning woke up feeling great actually. Minimal pain and not so swollen. More uncomfortable than anything else. Pain got worst in the afternoon with some swelling, and is still the same on day 3. Its more of a dull ache that is annoying. I can now open my mouth bigger and eat mashed potatoes and soft things. But the pain is still there even though swelling has gone down since yesterday. I feel like its worst if I talk more and move around more? I am also soooo exhausted.
When did the pain leave for you? I am also terrified of the dry socket and was wondering when can we stop worrying about that?
When did you start to eat some semi soft foods? I am starving and craving everything (honestly been the most difficult thing to figure out what to eat since I am terrified of dry socket)
I haven’t taken any of the prescribed painkillers, and I can’t take advil for other health reasons. So its tylenol only for now but honestly dont think its doing much, if I forget to take it for a few hours, the pain doesnt get worst, but also doesnt leave when I take some? Pain isnt terrible, just kinda want to not have it anymore and I dont feel like its improving versus the swelling has gone down and more movement of the jaw?
