(25M) Tomorrow will be day 8 since the operation, I am in decent spirits, still some tongue/ear/jaw pain but my throat does not give me grief. I am scheduled for my yearly rescue re-certs tomorrow at work which would involve a lot of discussion with other peers as well as a good couple hours of decent physical activity. I would keep to myself as best as I can as I still cant talk normal due to pain. My manager isn’t pushy but played the “we’ll have to get him to come back just for you later”. Am I wrong to not show up tomorrow (he is aware I may not be there) or would I be alright to tough it out for the day?

My throat pain has significantly gotten better the past day and a half. But this morning I woke up to a very unpleasant, sharp/ache pain at the back of my tongue, the most pain I have had this entire recovery. Right beside/behind my wisdom teeth and only on one side! It travels through my jaw and up to my ear then almost feels like an ear ache! Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do? Ice packs and my pain prescription don’t help and it’s driving me nuts! I can barely drink water and talk!

For those who have received a intracapsular, did your symptoms of tonsillitis, tonsil stones, strep throat etc. ever come back?

I am on day 5 post op and I feel every day since my operation, pain and discomfort has gotten worse, my pain meds are cutting it anymore, I have had a humidifier keeping my room at 55% steady. I can barely drink water today. My prescription runs out tomorrow. Hoping I can get a renewed prescription! How much longer is this going to last!!!! Agh.
