Had the packing removed from the socket of the bad molar I had extracted yesterday morning...went to work, by noon I was back on pain meds, using my little blue binkie heat mitt and trying to deal with the pain without crawling under my desk to sob it out...I am so disappointed. I am holding out hope that yesterdays flare was just a fluke or caused by the oral surgeon poking around and getting things fired up......
I am praying that the pain goes away. That this is just a temporary flare caused by the surgery.
Turtlebug,
your pain could be from the oral surgeon poking around and the extraction..I didn't have any pain when I went to get my upper molar extracted but later that night my gums burned and my jaw pain was back and the throbbing canine..It has been three weeks and the pain is almost gone again..So don't give up hope. Maybe it will just take a little longer for everything to calm down..I'm sorry you have the pain again...
I'm in the TN world because of an oral surgeon..... I'm facing dentures --- ummmmm - this means all teeth extracted
I'm beyond terrified --- if one tooth pulled changed my life in a bad way, what the hell could happen with all the others at once!!!
I'm in no pain, no meds since MVD -- but its not cured.....just remission
it can come back ---
let us know if it calms down : )
I can not even begin to imagine what you are going through at the moment. I am sending many positive thoughts your way.

Made it thru yesterday with no pain meds...that doesn't mean I didn't have pain just not enough to make me want to deal with the side effects of the pain meds!!!!
So far today is the same, some aching, occasional burning, some right under my ear (sometimes it feels swollen under there but it's not)! Seems like I start out the morning feeling pretty good and then as the day progresses so does the aching....but at least I'm functioning at work! Yay!
