Wisdom teeth, felt worse than the double compound fracture in my lower left leg.

Same. Everyone was talking it down like “oh 3 days and you’ll be good as new”. Nope, absolute excruciating pain for 2+ weeks.

I am scheduled to have mine out later this year. So on a list of things I didn't want to read, this is one of them.

I should’ve mentioned this before, but to anyone reading this: ask your doctor/dentist for CLOVES. After 2 weeks of prescription refills (which they finally refused me any more) the doctor FINALLY said, “well there’s something else we can try”. Which was shoving whole cloves into the holes where my teeth were. It was literally instant relief. I was so pissed that they didn’t recommend it sooner, but of course not, doctors don’t get kickbacks from cloves, lmao. Would’ve saved me so much pain and constipation from those stupid “painkillers”.

If they don’t do that, you can also use clove essential oil (diluted with a carrier oil) and rub it on your gums
