Pain post extraction

Had 4 extractions on Friday last week. 5's on upper and lower on both sides. One (lower right) had a bulbous root so was extremely difficult to get out according to the surgeon. I'm not getting any pain from any of the sites bar this one , which is horrid! Surgeon checked me over on Monday and said all fine, no dry socket. Any help?! Should it still hurt? Pain is controllable with ibuprofen.

Could be slightly still tender or might now have an infection or a dry socket. Go back to the dentist

I emailed the surgeon in the early hours of this morning but haven't had a reply. It's progressed to a throbbing headache now too.

Were you referred there by a dentist or is this your actual dentist? You need to get an emergency appointment.

I was operated on by a surgeon via referral from my dentist. I think I need to be seen tomorrow to be honest. A week is enough for it to not hurt surely?!

Then go back to your dentist.
I'm a dental nurse and it shouldn't still be so painful after a week. Tender yes, painful no.
It sounds like a dry socket it to me!

Oh dear :( I was hoping to avoid that. Do you think it would improve things if I was to sleep sitting more upright tonight?

Nothing helped when i had a dry socket until the dentis packed it, instant relief from that.

Hope you feel better soon Flowers

No nothing will improve it until the dentist packs it with can't remember name not how to spell it but it smells like cloves 🤤. Get an emergency appt and say you have a dry socket they have to see you the same day

FIXED 😎 2 out of 4 had dry socket apparently. All packed and ready to roll, wasn't even late to the school run!

So , 3 out of 4 are fixed now , but I am being slightly plagued by the extraction site where it had the difficult root. It very much feels and looks like a blister, leading me to believe it's an abscess ? No massive pain or anything or foul smell. WWYD? Has anyone heard of this?
