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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to the dentist and found out I still have a wisdom tooth. I got all four out last summer… or at least I thought I did. Now I have to go back and get it removed. Again. FML
Today, I got all four of my wisdom teeth taken out. I happen to be allergic to all types of pain medication. 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 removed and took the pain medicine that the oral surgeon prescribed for me before bed. The pain actually did go away for the most part, until my stomach decided to betray me and make me throw up, forcing my jaw to open more than it could after surgery. FML
Today, after I had my wisdom teeth cut out yesterday, so of course I’m in pain. To top it off, I threw my back out today and can’t bend over. So in the end, I’m loopy from pain meds and my back hurts twice as bad as my mouth. Go figure. 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, after 6 dentist visits, 2 root canals, and $1,500 that I'll likely have to sell vital organs to pay, the agonizing tooth pain I've had for months is unrelenting. Apparently, shrugging and offering to experimentally yank all my bottom teeth is my smurf-shit of a dentist's actual plan. FML
Today, I became that small percent of people who face three different kinds of complications after their wisdom teeth are removed. FML
Today, it's been seven days since I had my wisdom tooth removed, under guidance from both a doctor and a dentist to help with frequent headaches. The dentist cut open my cheek during surgery, which got infected, and now I also have dry socket. My mouth is causing me agony, and so are my headaches. FML
Today, I went to the dentist after 24 hours of severe tooth pain. They did an emergency root canal. After the anesthesia wore off, within minutes, the pain returned only worse than before. Called the dentist, I had to return, only to find they had done the root canal on the wrong tooth. FML

If the pains stays the same for more than a week, I would take another appointment with the dentist. Maybe a nerve was damaged.

Wisdom teeth removal hurts like a mf and can almost feel worse than the alternative, I can tell you that. Hopefully once the pain fades though you'll feel better. Wishing you a speedy recovery

Don't worry, your new ones will grow back in about three years. In the meantime, enjoy artisanal feeding tubes. I hear they are doing great things with pureed food these days.

There are many things in life that we have to do that cause more discomfort for a short time but ultimately lead to a better life. This is just one of those things - 4 wisdom teeth at once is a lot to heal from. And there can be complications. If the pain lasts longer than the dentist told you to expect or is more severe call them and tell them what is happening.

That's normal. The pain will go away after a bit and then the relief kicks in. Oh, and the food thing can't be helped. If you need to eat for comfort, I'd have that looked at too by a professional.

but unlike before surgery, this is going to actually heal up

Use clove oil. Google how best to apply it. It can be a God-send for tooth pain.
