Your help or advice is appreciated.

Wisdom teeth...just got removed...problems???
I just had my wisdom's out about 2 weeks ago. They STILL hurt a little bit! But yeah, at first I was taking the pain medicine basically to sleep. My dentist told me to take 3 advil liqui-gels ALONG WITH they pain meds. Just make sure u have some food in your stomach, like a Slim Fast or some pudding is enough. That's all I could eat...that and mashed potatoes. Now, when I try to eat regular foods, it feels like my jaw is being ripped apart. I cannot open it very wide at all without some discomfort. They told me it was normal and it would go away.. OH YEAH, I also still have my blod clots..the gums are not healing over yet...I don't know when they are supposed to heal completely..I heard a co-worker say it took them 6 months to heal over!!!
Reply:If the vicodin is not helping the pain then you need to call the surgeon's office that pulled your teeth and get their answering service to contact the one on call. The may call in a stronger prescription or tell you to take a different dose of vicodin etc.
Reply:Try taking 800 mgs of ibuprofen in between doses of vicodin, I had 4 extracted at once, and this was my dentist suggested. It worked really well for me.
Reply:You just had some major work done, it is going to be hurting. Don't expect to be back on your regular schedule yet. Just stay calm. Take it easy. If you feel that things are impoving, all be it slightly, it is good. If you feel that things are about the same, it is alright. If you feel that things are getting worse. That is not good. If you have any doubts, call you dentist and tell him/her how you are feeling. They will be more than happy to address your concerns, like your broken jaw. Let them know that the vicodin is not cutting it. In my opinion, if you are asleep and not aware of any pain, the painkiller is working. Don't sit at home and worry incessantly about things that may not happen. You paid for the work. Let the dentist worry for you.
