Welcome! I can imagine getting extractions and braces on the one day. You are brave

Oh, I'm in Japan and had my first adjustment yesterday - no pain yet.

Hi Ciara...pleasure to meet you...no pain yet....

Im feeling everything. ..even talking to people ...I avoid now and....the voice waves that travel through the air causes my teeth to hurt...lol

I was currently doing a bulking up phase...cant lift or strain until im fully healed...dealing with not being able to workout doesnt make it easy

I had extractions and braces done the same day two weeks ago. Things were really rough for about a week but they are a lot better now. I also lift weights (oly style) and it was about a week before I felt "safe" to hit the gym again. You'll be up and running again soon

Hi I too had an extraction (only 1 and a baby tooth). I also work out. Decided I was okay with some panadol to go to the gym the day after I got them on and put down a weighted oly bar too hard and bit down with a thud. I thought I was going to die. I think protein shakes saved me when I couldn't eat. I didn't end up taking any time out of the gym, just did things very very carefully for the first 2 weeks (and did no cardio because running on the treadmill hurt to just think about)!

Hope they're feeling a bit better for you soon. I understand the feeling of wind going by causing tooth pain. Mine were the same.

Your brave...I didnt even have the energy to step foot in the gym til about 3 days later. I needed the rest and I enjoyed it

The protein shakes saved me but I am programmed to chew so not being able to bite down on food really annoyed me.

To my surprise..cardio isnt that bad at all for me. I run in grass so the shock is lesser due to the natural surface...have not ran on the track yet...so i will update if I do

pics will come up later
