Dry Socket

I thought everything was going great with my wisdom tooth being pulled. . . boy, was I wrong!

I developed dry socket almost immediately, and I've been suffering for nine days now. The doctor has packed it with clove oil gauze (which he removed yesterday), numbed my mouth, put me on an antibiotic, numbed half of my face for half the day so it wasn't so painful, put me on Lortab (hydrocodone) and 800 mg of ibuprofen three times a day. This is a nightmare. Last night was the worst night, so far. I took one of Brady's super strength Percocet (oxycodone) and it only kinda pushed the pain to the background, somewhat, but it never fully subsided. I took four iboprofen and two Tylenol PM's after flushing my socket and waited for the pain to go away so I could sleep. I woke up pain free, but it has returned, as expected. I wish this week of pain was over.
