Hate to tell you this, but normal recovery takes 6 months to one year.  Sorry!  Hope you feel better.

Sometimes the position of the teeth dicate the location of the incision and it ends up going into yuor cheek.  Don't worry.  Once the sutures are out and the tension is gone, you will be fine.\n\nI will also comment in your suppport that oxycodone is routinely prescribed for post-surgical pain.  It is not time-released Oxycontin, but Percocet or a generic equivalent.  I am sure that you were only given 20 tabs or so to get you through the first few days.  Try using Advil Liqui-Gels now.  Take one more per dose than the label tells you to take for the first week.

Dry socket, or alveolar osteitis, could be your problem. \nYou don't give enough details about type and frequency of the pain. There really should be no reason for pain this far out from dental extraction. Go see the dentist/surgeon and have him/her evaluate you.

I had mine taken out when i was 7. I was able to talk right away. But it really hurt. So, the pain will be completely gone in a week. And you should be able to talk in no time.

Elisabeth, also, please read my answer to the question that you posted in "Other--Health".\n\n1. Definitely\n2. During the first days after surgery, the pain was fleeting and was most acute when I was moved or when I moved "wrong".  An example was when they turned me in bed in the hospital.  Once I got home, I really had no pain that couldn't be handled with OTC Tylenol.  In fact the pain meds that were prescribed made me nauseous so I didn't even fill the script the second time around and just relied on OTC tylenol and tylenol-PM at nite.  \n3.  Since I had the hips done separately, I was still in bad shape a couple of months after hip #1.  However, 5 months later I had hip #2 done and was walking with one crutch by the 4th week and no walking aid at all by 2 months.  I received permission to drive at week #5 for both hips.  I no longer work, but I feel that I could have returned to my old job full-time by about the 6th week after surgery #2, maybe even a bit earlier.  I was cooking our meals, and doing the laundry by the 2nd week (all is on the main floor).  I had to hire house cleaning for about 2 months as I couldn't really push a vacuum or get down on the floor yet.\n4.  You bet!  It gave me my life back and made a new person out of me.  During the years preceding surgery my world kept shrinking.  I could hardly bear to go shopping unless there was a shopping cart to lean on.  Standing in a check-out line for more than a minute killed me.  If I tried to travel, I ended up staying in the hotel because I couldn't stand the walking.  I was truly a mess.

I AM 33 ALSO AND HAD A FULL LAST YEAR.  THERE IS A BIT OF PAIN WITH THIS AND SOME BLEEDING.  I WAS SORE FOR ABOUT 1 AND HALF WEEKS AFTER MINE.  THEY USUALLY GIVE YOU PAIN MEDS TO CONTROL THE PAIN.  I FOUND THAT MOTRIN HELPED ALOT WITH THE PAIN.  STAY ON TOP OF YOUR PAIN.  DONT LET IT GET TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN.  I WENT NO HORMONES FOR ABOUT 5 MONTHS AND THEN FIGURED OUT THAT WASNT THE KEY FOR ME.  I NOW TAKE HORMONES AND FEEL BETTER.  NOT QUITE SO TIRED AND IRRITABLE.  GOOD LUCK.

I had all 4 of mine out at the same time.  They stuck a needle in my arm, put me to sleep, and 30 minutes later I walked out...well, stumbled, out.  My wife drove me home.  I slept the rest of the day and most of the night.  Woke up in some pain.  Took some more pills.   \n\nNo, it wasn't scary.  Make sure you get some good pain killing drugs.

My son had all four out under anesthesia and got along fine.  I had 2 pulled without being put under - actually the apprehension was the worst part.  It only took about 20 seconds for each tooth and didn't really hurt.  Afterwards it was pretty gross and a little achy but not that bad. Take some pain pills and zonk out for a few hours and you'll be OK.  Just don't breathe on anybody - YUCK!

It will go away take the strongest pain killer you can find and get some sleep try to stay off the side in pain. Your teeth are very sensitive right now, so put the front to use, and stay away from too hot or too cold foods. I've been through it, hope you feel better

My experience wasn't so great as fred the dog's. The anaesthetic just about killed me and I slept and slept and slept. It was about 2/3 weeks before I could laugh properly or sleep on my side and felt normal. However, I feel fantastic now, definately worth getting done- after the post op niggles go!!

My girlfriend just had this done.  It was sore for a few weeks, but the pain medicine she was given really eased the process.  She is happy all in all.  Recovery tiime is several weeks to be fully healed, but she quit being discomforted after about 2 weeks.

That must feel awful, all the time. My heart goes out to you. There are two ways, which occur to me, and I'm 63 years old. The first is pills. You can probably find some pills from your doctor, and if you take enough of them, they might "take the top off" the pain (ease it somewhat), but you are asking for a cure. And cure is a different animal. When a person has "pins and needles," something is being impinged upon inside your body. Something is tangled up that needs straightening out again. All I can do is strongly suggest you see a chiropractor. Why? I dislocated my back over twenty years ago. I actually dislocated L-4 and L-5 (two lumbar vertebrae, lower back). In the very first visit, my chiropractor managed to clear that injury OUT. It has never since come back, over twenty years later, so you can see why I would be inclined to advocate for chiropractic. I fully realize it is not for everyone, and the good news is, one visit and you will probably get a gut feeling about whether or not it is for you. But the alternative, in my opinion, is twofold: pills or surgery. What does your doctor tell you about all this? I am just a layman. Well, I really hope this helps you come to decide some course of action to repair your body. It must be awful to have that nagging at you all the time. I wish you complete success with this issue, no matter what course you choose, and I will be holding strong and positive thoughts on your behalf, knowing something much better will be on the horizon for you and this issue before the leaves begin to drop off the trees in October. Sent to you with love from G. in South Portland, Maine, U.S.A.

I don'tknow.i dislocated mine almost 2 years ago and its just now back to 100%.  Was a pretty serious dislocation, and I did kinda compound it by not keeping it imobilised like my doc wanted.  But, was better than the surgical alternitive, which was not cool at all.  Nope, not cool.  Don't remember what it was, quit listening when they started on the whole, incision here and some screw thing there.  Started playing music in my head, not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent.\nOk, that doesn't help at all, I know. But its 5:37 in the morning and I started typing, so I decided, why quit?\nlol\nHave a nice day. Er sumthin.

i just had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and it wasn't so bad.  i had iv sedation too, i think that is the only way to go.  i was talking and telling them about a trip i went on and the next thing i knew they woke me up.  i must have just fallen asleep right away.  you will feel the needle from the shot, but its only a pinch and will go away right away.  when i woke up i felt like i was drunk, but was ok.  after an hour or so the sedation starts to wear off and you need to take pain killers.  to be honest it did hurt like hell the first day, just take some medicine get an ice pack and go to sleep and you won't feel the pain.  it will hurt for a few days, just keep taking pain medicine and relaxing by your 4th day you should be all good.\n\ni heard that if you tell your doctor you are affraid they might be able to give you a Volume pill before you go in for the surgery to help you calm yourself down.\n\ndon't cancel it, you need to get it done and if you wait it will be even worse.  its good to do it at once because if you do only part you will have to go back and endure the same thing again.  don't do that!\n\nyou will be fine, just relax and get it done with.
