Revisit dentist or wait it out?

I know no one here will know for sure but general anecdotal stuff may help me :)

Had complex wisdom tooth extraction Tuesday under GA (2 wisdom teeth and one neighbouring one damaged by the impacted one). Have stitches. Obviously expecting a certain level of pain / soreness but don’t actually know how long for / when I should check in if concerned?

I have a very high pain threshold -
I am managing on painkillers but at maximum doses, even with then I can still feel it and I’m not sleeping properly at all. It’s certainly not agony but it’s definitely bothering me / I’m not able to go out etc. With the weekend approaching I’m not sure if I should get checked for any issues or just wait and see if tomorrow it’s improved?

How long did your pain last post removal?

Get an appointment at the dentist today. Might be infected.

Thank you - I got an appointment as I’m dental phobic and knew waiting was just avoiding. It needed flushing and packing and have antibiotics now
