I originaly posted in the support section on a thread asking questions of people over 40 that had their WT pulled.
This was my original post at one week and two days.
This is my post after two weeks and two days.
I did go back in for a follow-up three days ago but my oral surgeon literally spent five minutes with me and told me everything was normal and it looked like I was healing great. He discounted the fact that I still had swelling at two weeks as normal.
My question is about the lumps and pain still on the left side. Reading I keep seeing that these lumps are filled with puss and need to be drained. The lumps are very hard right on the gum line by the extraction points on the left top and bottom. The same side that still has the pain.
I also read that the lumps were normal on another site and that they would go down on their own.
Any help would be appreciated.
Also the pain along my jaw goes up to my temple. Like a massive headache.

43 and had all 4 pulled a week and two days ago. Left bottom is still swollen and hurts. The rest seem fine. My tongue is also still numb with a little burning sensation on that side. I thought this would be over in 5 days or so.
Pain over the last couple of days has been intense at night. Waking up to take hot showers and popping ibuprofen. My left cheek also hurts like it was cut during surgery. I was knocked out for the surgery.
I'm interested in the numbness from others in my age group. Thanks to the poster who spoke about it. I'm also concerned not all the swelling has gone down yet.

Tongue is no longer numb. Left side still swollen some, right side fine. It has been two weeks and two days.
If I run my finger along the gum line, my right side is normal. If I run my finger on the left side I hit two semi painful bumps on that side on both the top and bottom near the extraction points.
