5 days post-op what should my pain be?
I got all four removed, I’m alternating 500mg Advil and 500mg Tylenol as directed, I’m 5 days post-op and when I overlap the meds correctly everything feels good except for one extraction site……I’m a hypochondriac so I don’t want to assume dry socket because it doesn’t hurt that much?? Like the pain is steadily going down everywhere for sure, but this one extraction site seems to be healing slower than the others because the others don’t hurt as much. I think there were complications in the spot I’m talking about though……I wasn’t in that much pain in general so I want to make sure I’m not just ignoring dry socket pain 😭😭 I’ve been very very careful cleaning it and I haven’t seen any clots come out or anything but I’m soooo paranoid
