wisdom tooth extraction pain

[chocolateismymiddlename]

I had an impacted upper wisdom tooth removed yesterday. The pain after extraction has been awful and I had to sit up in bed, so couldn't sleep. Is it normal to be experiencing this level of pain 24 hours after the extraction?

I have tried ibuprofen, which seem to have little effect. Anyone got any helpful suggestions to put me out of my misery.

I rang the dentist who did the surgery and he said I could go in to see him at 3.30pm. I am just wondering if it is normal and I am being a wuss about the pain! Do I go back?

My first wisdom tooth i had out was fine but the second was agony,i really sympathise with you,it does get better,i phoned the dentist the same day and they just said to see how i was the next day,luckily it was better by then,hope it gets better soon

thanks tobago. I am hoping it will ease after today. The dentist does not work tomorrow, so I am hoping it doesn't get worse.

It was an uncomplicated extraction, so why am I so much pain?!!!

OMG i know, i was actually withering around the floor in pain at one point,never again!

ok so it seems that normal (not that I feel any better, . I think this is the most pain I have experienced recently(except childbirth!)
