I just had my wisdom teeth out Monday, all four. They hurt so bad, I feel like one might be a dry socket. I've already missed a week of work with no pay, I'm still in pain and dreading going into work tomorrow. I physically feel sick. I'm out of pain pills and they don't open til Monday. I just want to cry. Or feel better. Its just been one thing after another lately and can't seem to catch a break or make progress anywhere in my life. Any thoughts? Oh and my best friend called me a whiny baby after the first day I was home bc its "just wisdom teeth" and my boyfriend Wii took me hasn't been back to visit and is out getting drunk with his friends. I know just bc I dint feel good does NT mean no on e else can i'm just really struggling here to find a silver living.. And a way to relieve the pain! Help, please. I want to call the emergency number for a refill since its the weekend

You have more courage then you give yourself credit for.
I need a tooth pulled but am scared to death to go to the dentist! If that makes me a whiner or a wimp then so be it.

how about ice to reduce the swelling. that might also help with the pain by numbing it. go to a pharmacy and get that red cross toothach medicing. It has eugenol in it which is the exact same the dentists use to numb it. Believe me it works wonders. Ibprofen, 800 miligrams which is the prescription dose will also help. Thats usually 4 pills.

Good Luck!

Thank you thank you. I saw the eugenol today but was afraid to buy it myself... Have you used it? I know that's all they use... I think... If I were to go back and had a dry socket.. I think it's just going to take time. Quitting smoking had proved to be equally.. Almost... As difficult as weening off xanax... Maybe this will stick as my attempts in the past to quit smoking have not succeeded. Ugh, hoping the Advil kicks in soon, thz for the advice!!!

Don't be afraid of the eugenol. It's clove oil. It may be a little uncomfortable when you first put it on but give it a few minutes to work and your pain will be gone. I have used it for years.

Smoking is probably the most difficult addiction to quit. Not trying to discourage you because I know you can do it. Many have and I know you can be one of them.

This group might be able to help you.

I believe that seeing what works for others, may work for us.

Good Luck!

I used to smoke on and off. Each time I quit, its like I thought about it for a long time while dragging in. Until one morning I just said screw this. Every time was like that. One day you just won't want to smell like it at all. (hope this helps) I haven't smoked in 10 years.

    So mad at Xfinity!  They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today!  Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...
