Go out and eat your favorite meal...will be your last one you enjoy for a while. Rent a few movies. Take pain meds regularly and try to sleep for 3-4 days.

And stock up on water, favorite drinks and soup.

Ha..sleep???

I had my done is my late teens and had an adverse reaction to the pain medication. Instead of helping it.. HURT me.. SOOO.. after upchucking my stomach clean.. I cruised thru the rest of the recovery on plain Tylenol.

The swollen jaws were huge!! I pray it goes well for you.

I got to eat ice cream the next few days. The pain was not that bad with the medicine, but I did take some over the counter medicine for about a month after. It was not painful, just a little nagging pain. My cheeks did swell up though.

Be praying for you.

Get lots of jello, pudding, anything soft but the most important thing is fluids. I used ice packs the first day to help reduce the swelling. I will keep you in my prayers.

Are you sure you want to do that?

I never had mine out but they said i should when I was about 18. So far, so good.

Girl at church had hers out last week. She has really been suffering! Lost five pounds and Sunday her stitches came out on one side...don't mean to scare you though!

yes, they are bothering me so I want them gone. I have heard stories of people who came through it with flying colors and of some who had problems.

It'll all be ok

You'll be fine, just do what they tell you to do...I didn't have any problems and I was 23 when mine were removed...My son had his removed last year and did something they told him not to do and got dry socket...He suffered through it.
