| My mouth is killing me.. As some of you know, I had all four of my wisdom teeth removed on Monday. The pain wasn't too bad the first couple days but last night and today, I think it is getting worse. It kind of feels like my jaw is getting stiff, it's hard to open my mouth, hard to talk, and when I swallow, it feels very similar to a sore throat. They prescribed ibuprofin and lortab for pain. The lortab did help but I'm out of that already. The ibuprofin just seems to dull the pain. I don't know if I need to call the dr. back or if I just need to tough it out. I have a very low pain tolerance and I don't want to call if I'm just being wimpy.

| Call. My daughter had hers out Friday and she's still complaining about pain. It's mostly her bottom right side. They said she shouldn't be in this much pain still. She's going back today for a follow up, I'll let you know what they said.

| Probably wouldn't hurt for them to check, although mine was similar to yours, and I remember not even being able to get a toothbrush in my mouth. I had 2 partially impacted and 2 fully impacted and couldn't open my teeth more than 1/4". You also need better pain meds; shoot, they gave me codeine and percoset! |

| Thanks ladies for your input. I just gave them a call and they can see me in an hour. I hate going to the doctor when there is nothing wrong. Hopefully he'll at least give me a refill on the lortab. I can't brush any of my teeth except for the front ones because my tooth brush won't fit any farther back. It's so hard to eat anything too...it took me 45 mintues to eat a little cup of easy mac last night.

| I did a lot of milkshakes. If you have a blender, you can make shakes and smoothies from fruit, and maybe you can add a little protein powder to replace what you can't eat. |

| Ouch! A long time ago I had all four of mine out, but because the roots were growing around the teeth in front of them I had to have it done in the hospital. I feel for you. I hope you get something to help. Aleve Gel Tabs are pretty good - 12 hours. I don't take them, but my mom does. Hope you start feeling better soon.

| They put me to sleep to take them out, there is NO WAY I could of been awake through it! They were able to just pull the top two out but the bottom two were partially impacted and needed cut out.

| That's the reason you're in such pain - all of that digging around!

| Well, I just got home from the dentist. I have 2 dry sockets, both of my lower teeth. They packed them and boy did that hurt! The left side is starting to feel a little better but the right side is still aching. The medication tastes like cloves and it numbs whatever it touches so my tongue feels a little weird now. I'm supposed to go back Monday morning to have them repacked.

| You poor thing! I remember having mine out very clearly (all 4 of mine were impacted...fun stuff). I'm glad you went back and got checked out and I hope you recover quickly!

| Awww, bless your heart I KNOW how badly those dry sockets hurt. The packing will actually help. I hope the doc gave you more pain meds.
