Painmanagement and surgery

[kdjpink]

I'm having my wisdom teeth out this month. I'm worried about the pain involved with this surgery as well as the iv sedation. I do not have a high pain tolerance and have been told that i will need pain medicine for the first few days. I was also told that being an addict it takes more anesthesia to get to where they want me to be. I'm vey nervous I'm fairly new to the program...Help.

Having your wisdom teeth out is really very little pain at all. My nephew just had all 4 taken out and he didn't need any pain killers after the surgery at all.
Don't panic, its not that bad.

Just be honest with the Dr. If you can, Find someone who can help you with the pain meds. By giving them to you as the Dr tells you to take them. That way you will not over use, and do not have to worry about those evil w/d's..

  Good luck, I am sure it will be fine....Don't stress your self out!! :-))
