Hi Tashia,
I can tell you without hesitation that tooth pain on top of recovery pain is the absolute worst. I am still being treated for pain and its been three months since I had the tooth extracted. My dentist tried a lazer heat treatment on the gum and socket area where I had my two teeth extracted. I may need to go for another laser session. It also gives me anxiety. When I don't have hip pain or pain in my mouth (or anywhere else for that matter). I feel so good and have energy. Pain zaps the energy right out of me.
We just received 8 inches of snow and my husband slipped and fell outside while walking our dog. So I am not walking the dog until any possible ice and snow are gone.
Tashia, are you going to get a puppy? My doggie was 7 months old when I got him. I am glad I didn't have to do any potty training.
I can tell you that it took a good month before my tooth extraction started to feel good. It may take some time. You are past the hard part. Extractions are so much worse than root canals. Now we still have the matter of what to do now that the tooth is out. I plan on doing nothing and leaving it alone for a year. I want to get past the two year cautionary period if possible.
Thinking of you, even if I don't post on your thread. I still visit and read. Take care.
