How many days?

I had surgery Friday

Swelling will start to begin to subside. It is the body's normal reation to trauma and what you had done is trauma. Ice packs will help or over the counter "aleve" which is an inti inlammatory. Take 3 at a time every 6 hours. That is Rx strength Naprosin which is NOT a narcotic and has ZERO effects on you other than swelling decrease. (I am in the medical field and NOT talking out of my ass on this one.)

take some drugs

[Norwoodsrevenge]

Stand on a railroad track, that should do it.

I recommend that you get a pistol and press it between your lips and open fire. You might die but hey at least there won't be any more swelling.

Yes, the swelling is normal, which you could also have learned by calling your dentist or consulting any medical professional. As mentioned, continue with ice, and KEEP RINSING LIKE THEY SAID. Failure to do so will result in a dry socket, and then we'll have to listen to your sissy ass whine and bitch and moan about that, too.

shutup.

i hate whiners

[HURLS]

I can't believe people actually care enough to offer real advice. Must be at the wrong MB.

You gotta love the Shoutbox Doctor that offers unknown remedies such as "Ginger Ale soothes a stomach", and "Drink Green Tea". Whoa!! Stop with the highly sophisticated secrets of the trade.

[Jayhawk]

have someone break your foot.

[njsue]

You have to give it time for the healing process to start. If your still too uncomfortable contact the Oral surgern/dentist that did the work.

Hope you feel better soon! ;)

[HURLS]

Ya, make sure you check that "surgern". Those damn surgerns sometimes goof the surgernery.

I suggest drinking some Coffee of Strength. It will give you +10 Testicular Fortitude. :niterider
