Uh, saeedra. With all due respect, you're talking a bunch of complete and utter rot. Or, if you feel you are not, please give us references to professional literature that substantiates your claim that extracting wisdom teeth makes your jaws look like you are 13. As to your assertion that all docto...

huh??

Thanks everyone :D Tho the situation seems pretty aweful at mo, i just want the 2nd op over and to be better! The left side is pretty painful and because of this im grinding and clenching which seems to be setting my TMJ issues off too :roll: plus taking loads of antibiotics seems to be making me f...

Oh Lou, you are struggling with this arent you, though on the plus side the half that isnt swollen looks fab!!!

Sorry to hear that its going to be another op, I really hope things improve after it...


Hugs heading your way..

Aaaaw Dave, they are cute, hope they make good nurses!! Best of luck for Tuesday, hope the ice packs work, though I didn't find ice that much help to be honest, I tried it and it just made my face number than it already was, which didn't help the dribbling! Hope the zip n squeeze bags come in useful...

Congratulations Claire! Sounds like you've had a great result! It's always good to know that there are cases that go better than planned.... although i'm expecting at least another 6 months of braces after surgery, which is rapidly creeping up... 1 week to go now! Can I ask.... did you take anythin...

My lips are still a bit puffy, makes eating a bit tricky


Also the right hand side of my bottom lip is still very numb, all the way down to my chin in fact, and it keeps itching which is driving me crazy as I cant scratch it

Well I went back to work today, very very bizarre day, felt like Id never been away but then again I didnt have a clue what was going on (I guess thats no different to normal :lol: ) Swelling round sinuses still a little but other than that its all gone ROM is about 1 1/2 fingers, ortho says I need ...

I think I got my date a month in advance but then again I was UK private so it was much quicker than normal


Im going back to work tomorrow and I was 4 weeks post op on friday (29th)

I am getting close to my surgery date (hopefully) and wanted to ask those of you already on the other side a few questions about your hospital stay. I've been told I will be in for 2-4 days depending on how fast I recover. I know many factors come into play on the length of stay but wanted to get m...

Well went to see both surgeon and ortho today and it was a huge success... :tingrin: My grin is almost this wide (well I said almost) First up was ortho, he was very very happy, hadnt seen him since 6 days post op so the difference to him was huge, he has said that I need to try and fit elastics on ...

Oh my god, Lou, thats bad


Hope things settle down very quick for you, it must be a nightmare not knowing whats going on

Get well vibes coming your way

this three week blues thing reminds me of the "baby blues" ........ not post natal depression but that stage approx one week after bith when often new mum just burst into tears etc. depite being totally aware this happens ..... and no matter how determined "not to give in", I wa...

Well I think I have hit the 3 week blues wall I have taken more painkillers in the last 2 days than I have in the last week (within allowed doses I mean), I think my muscles are playing tennis in my jaw (though unlike poor Loulou, my bite doesnt appear to have altered) I have been quite upset this m...

Oh Lou you poor thing, you have been in the wars havent you, sounds like you have had a rotten day. Still at least its been caught early and the surgeon is doing all they can to help you out I guess though its mucked you up food wise as you are now back on a liquid diet? Hope things settle down soon...
