Today, I had two of my wisdom teeth removed. One side of my face is completely swollen, and the other is normal. I feel like the elephant man. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I became that small percent of people who face three different kinds of complications after their wisdom teeth are removed. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me when my face was going to go back to normal after being swollen from having my wisdom teeth taken out last week. My face is back to normal. FML
Today, I had to get three teeth pulled. That would've been fine if they were all on the same side of my mouth. Nope, two were on the upper left and one on the bottom right. I kept thinking my upper lip was gauze it was so numb, and I kept drooling like a baby. I've barely been able to eat as it's so sore. FML
Today, I found out that instead of having four wisdom teeth, I have eight. They all have to be removed as soon as possible, which happens to be over the Christmas break. I get to spend my whole vacation in excruciating pain and a swollen face to boot. FML
Today, I woke up from my wisdom tooth surgery… while they were still sawing my jaw. I had such a bad panic response that they also cut my lip, so I have stitches inside and outside of my mouth, as well as the haunting crackle of bone being removed from my skull stuck in my head. FML
Today, after a year or more of suffering with wisdom tooth pain, I finally had all 4 removed a few days ago. Relief? No. I’m in more pain now than I’ve ever been, and I can’t even eat for comfort. FML
Today, I had my wisdom teeth pulled. The local anesthesia worked on three of the four teeth. I found out about the last tooth when the dentist was mid-yank. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth pulled. Apparently the medicines don't work on me. I woke up in the middle of the surgery and felt EVERYTHING. One of the nurses asked if I was okay, and the doctor just kept saying "Don't worry she's just dreaming", while tears were pouring down my face. FML
Today, the gums around my wisdom teeth are so badly swollen that I can't talk. I called a dentist to find out if I could see them for a removal. They told me to contact a surgeon, or go to the hospital emergency room. I have no insurance. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get my wisdom teeth removed. The surgeon took a better X-ray to see what he was dealing with before he got started. When he came back into the room, he started to laugh and told me it was my lucky day because in the X-rays he found 2 big extra wisdom teeth. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I had all four removed at once, two of which were impacted meaning they had to be broken out of my jaw. I consumed only liquids for 9 days straight due to my jaw being swollen shut. I'm also highly sensitive to tylenol 300, therefore I'd be in no pain, just nauseous and puking or opt for zero pain medicine and being in excruciating pain. Suck it up, princess.

Totally hear you. All 4 of mine were impacted and I had to still take care of my 2 year old! I couldn't take pain meds for fear of falling asleep! And couldn't talk to her bc of lock jaw, and dry socket. Was the worst experience of my life. Can't really feel bad, that OP is complaining of some swelling. I wish that's all I had! Lol

113 - Funny, I did make it into an FML, it just didn't go through. Strange isn't it?

You guys are all big babies. Try having seven removed all at once. Yes, seven. My eighth one is still chilling in the back of my jaw since my orthodontist figured it was too far back to ever become a problem. They x-rayed my jaw four times because the assistant thought the x-ray kept shifting. After the orthodontist look at it, he told me that 40+ years of working on people's teeth & jaw, he's never seen a full extra set. /Maybe/ a fifth tooth, but never a whole extra four. In other words, two or three isn't bad. And I envy that. Pansies. :P

I honestly love all these assholes trying to one-up the op. Listen, no one wants to hear how "you got it worse". Want to be heard, make your own god damn FML instead of putting the poor girl down because "LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I GOT IT WORSE THAN YOU". Douchebags...
