Hi all,
I got 2 wisdom teeth removed from the right side on saturday. The left side was done previously at two different times. However I went to a dentist for the lower extraction this time instead of an oral surgeon and it has been the worst pain I have ever felt. On the first day as the local anesthesia wore off I began to feel really bad so bad that I had to take two percocet pills initially , I waited a hour and the pain was still there like I never took anything .... the prescription says one to two pills every 4 to 6 hrs for pain well my pain was coming back every 3 hrs so of course I took one pill every 4 hrs. About the 2nd full day after I still had swelling and I was taking the pain medication as often as when I first started, I added 800 mg of ibuprofen. .. this seemed to take the swelling down and allowed me to wait 8 hrs in between taking pain medicine, that worked for about a day and a half. Then the pain came and it has been really really bad. I went back to the dentist today because I took a percocet without ibuprofen and I felt the pain two hrs later and I knew that there had to be something else going on. I went and she prescribed me more percocet and penicillin this time. Now the penicillin I'm supposed to take every 6 hrs and I have been trying to wait the six hours for the pain medicine as well but I can not sleep because after about 4 hours the pain is killing me again. It goes from my right temple all the way down to my throat and when it is at its peak it feels like I have a ear infection and that there is pressure in my jaw and ear. I simply just want to be able to go the 6 hrs without taking pain medication and be ok but it is proving not possible because it is hurting to the point where I want to cry. I didn't experience this with the other side I took the pain medicine for two days on the other side and I was fine. I would really like for this pain to go away so i can stop takimg the medicine. It usually makes me sick, so I only take it for 2 days tops but not this time i guess the pain is outweighing that. I don't know what went wrong on this side is there any way to manage the pain better and to know what is causing it to feel this way. I also followed all the post extraction instructions to avoid dry socket I have not had any hard food, soda, or anything. I have used salt water without spitting, and I have brushed around the areas as well. The dentist also never looked in my mouth when I went back she simply looked at my face saw swelling and told me it was a difficult procedure so she expected me to still hurt and added penicillin to the medicine. I would really like to be able sleep again for more than 2 hrs at a time.
IS THE ANYTHING I CAN POSSIBLY DO TO GET MY SANITY BACK AND PAIN LEVELS DOWN?
