i can understand your pain.....even though i have the vicodin 750mg., i still wake up in pain, and i already suffer from clinical depression, so it's 10x worse now. i only take 1 vicodin at night, if i take it throughout the day, my stomach gets severe cramping, as i had lost a lot of weight after a car accident last december.......i too, understand now why people kill themselves due to the depression of living w/ chronic pain...!
do you have dry socket? cause' that's when your bone/ nerves are exposed. he should have given you antibiotics, and pain medication!!! wtf is wrong w/ these doctors?
can you get to a neurologist? tell them whats going on, and im sure they should be able to give you a rx for pain meds. and possibly a rx to have your face x-rayed , like i now have to do........i cant explain this pain to anyone, and if people havent been through it, they just think your bullshitting about the pain......it's real, and it's scary.
i beleive i may have nerve damage, but im too disgusted, and too afraid to go back to the dentist who performed the extraction....so what am i to do? my gums are not healing properly either.......let me know how things go for you.....good luck, and like i said, go to the neurologist if you can....i didnt know one could see a neurologist for this problem, but a doc. at the e.r., said i could, so, thats what i did......
Each oral surgeon may have different management of post-op pain.You may be afflicted with dry socket, which is commonly associated with mandibular molar extraction. I can only tell you the way I manage dry socket, if the patient does develop post-op pain of extraction site 3 days later after surgical procedure, I 'll administer local anesthesia, and thoroughly curette the socket, place colla-plug(a collagen product), and suture the wound. Systemic administration of amoxicillin+ metronidazole or clindamycin+ metronidazole. OTc pain killer ,depending if the patient need or not. Patients rarely suffers from post-op pain more than 3 days.
I am a 41 year old women in resonably good health. I had 3 wisdom teeth removed in November and have experienced SEVERE pain since. I did have an infection 4 weeks into postop. Two weeks later I had a bone scan, cat scan and blood work. All came back normal. BUT I am still in severe pain, worst of my life. He says the sight looks good but if I am still in pain in 2 weeks he will do a biopsy. Any advice.
