I Hurt!!!!

[VXIRONwoMAN]

I just got my bottom two wisdom teeth yanked! I feel like I just got punched in the jaw! I'm bleeding like I did too. OWIE!!!!!!!! I look like a chipmunk too! I decided to do local anesthesia, and supposedly took it like a champ! But now I am hurtin'!!! I don't like to take drugs either... so I am trying to tough it out. I can even swallow water! WTH?! Water is neutral!!! It shouldn't hurt! ARG!!!

oh ow...that sucks...yea getting your mouth messed with is one of the worst things in my opinion....

[Joe_Black]

I feel for ya! Had all four done when I was 17 and it put me down for three days. So much for the young healing faster!

[Ldub]

Hang in there Kiddo...big bro sendin' good vibes your way.

Feel better soon.

Ouch! That doesn't sound like fun at all. On the positive side, think of all the room your mouth will have without those awful wisdom teeth in the way. Trust me your mouth will thank you for this later.

I hope your recovery is quick and the pain eases by the hour.

Peace.

My sympathies to you. I just had all four of mine yanked and it took me out for the better part of two days. I hope you got the dissolvable stitches as I have to go in nest week and have them removed >.> They wouldn't let me do local and put me down.

My lower jaw was numb for about a day. I had to touch my lower lip when I was drinking something so I knew I wasn't chewing my lip off! Just relax for a few days and you will be fine. Remember no crunchy foods for a couple weeks, unless you like the taste of blood!

im getting mine pulled out soon!!

[nfpgasmask]

Did they give you those nifty little plastic syringes that you have to stick in your gum holes and flush out with mouth wash?

I still have my wisdom teeth...but my brother had his pulled and was in all sorts of pain for like 3 days.

Feel better.

Hello, Vicodin is not a bad thing.......

[VXIRONwoMAN]

Well, I will have to say the worst part has past. I think my mouth was in more pain before I had them taken out because my whole lower jaw was shifting around. Now the discomfort is located where the wisdom teeth were. I made the mistake last night of spitting (which apparently you aren't supposed to do) And that was very painful!!! But during the procedure, since I chose local anesthesia, I was feeling pain instead of pressure because I have a high tolerance for anesthesia. It was only 20 minutes before it started to wear off. So they loaded me up pretty good the third time around. It was more of a relief when they pulled them out, because the pressure on the other teeth was gone. I was numb until about midnight. I woke up feeling sore, but not in pain. It hurts to swallow though, water, my own saliva...and I am sooo hungry! I have only been taking the Ibuprofen and Amoxicillin, 3 pills of each every day (one in the morning, one at noon, and one at night). I took half of a Vicoden last night, but that didn't do anything the Ibuprofen hadn't already done, so I don't need or want to take it. I hate meds.

I hear horror stories of having your wisdom teeth taken out. I know everyone is different, but it wasn't that bad. The pain was tolerable, except the part where I made the mistake of spitting!!! YOW!!!!

Thanks for being awesome! You all are the best!

I know this guy who looks just like your fake big bro, who will be in Moab in May.

He has a mobile unwanted/unused meds disposal facility & I know he wouldn't charge any disposal fees with my recommendation....

Glad to hear you're on the mend.

I sort of know what you mean. I have to say that my wisdom teeth removal was one of the best times of my life. After an hour or so under some really good drugs, I think I can sort of understand the heroin junkie mentality... If I could be there forever, you'd have a tough time dragging me away.

Turns out my surgeon thought much the same -- him and his wife were arrested a couple months after my surgery. They'd been dosing up at night and neglecting the kids.

Anyway, don't underestimate the power of good old Tylenol. People tend to forget that it is a VERY powerful painkiller. It has no anti-inflamatory properties, though, so it is useless for some types of pain.

There's already tylenol in the Vicoden -- so don't take both! Liver failure from a tylenol OD's a bad way to go.

Hang in there! I'd come make you a smoothie, if I could...
