EDIT; I can’t reply to everyone individually but thanks for all the suggestions! Opiates are out of the question, doctors here will only prescribe those in terms of absolutely extreme suffering or end of life care. I also don’t particularly feel interested in developing a hard drug habit. Diclofenac and such are available but also only on separate prescriptions, I’d have to visit another doctor for that. I’m well stocked on paracetamol & ibuprofen, and apart from that, lots of ice cream, pudding & soup :)

Also, since a fair few people seem to doubt the veracity of my story, here’s the 22 extracted teeth (the other 10 were already gone in previous extractions).

    Did you and your doctor not have this conversation!?

    Or are you more inclined to listen to the internet over the person who’s job it is to pull all your teeth out of your head?

    Answer: Oxy.

      Entirely this. Where is your health care provider in this conversation???

      You should have been sent home with antibiotics, pain killers, and a ream of after care instructions.

      Yeah first thing I thought, too. “Have you tried asking somebody who does this professionally? Like, oh I don’t know, THE SURGEON?!”
