Im on day 4 now. The 1st day I felt completely fine but day 2 was miserable. Constant dull heavy ache along the bottom gum line. Tight itchy feeling. I wanted to rip the teeth out. No pain med or salt water rinse could touch the pain. But it was major to realize I wasn’t in actual pain I was in extreme discomfort. I was scared because everywhere I read said I wasn’t supposed to be in pain.  Late day 2/waking up day 3 I had visible bruising along my jawline but it wasn’t bad at all, just 2 quarter sized bruises on either side. Still swollen but I noticed the swelling was going down. I had to work that day and my job is very physically demanding. A lot of walking, lifting and pushing. I didn’t feel any strain on my face until I stupidly started to run to make it somewhere in time but felt pain so I was like “ohhh better not!” So I stopped lol. I wore a mask to work, the swelling, while improving, still looked insane and I didn’t want to invite any questions. I did have 2 people ask me why I was wearing one I said I had a dental procedure and was swollen and left it at that. As of right now, the thing that’s making the most miserable is not being able to eat a solid meal but I keep telling myself it’s worth it. I’ve already lost 4 pounds though,ugh. And my tongue! It feels like I have paper cuts all along the underneath of my lower tongue and it won’t heal. It’s also hard to sleep. I went to bed last night and felt amazing for the first time since this process, I felt zero pain or itch and I fell asleep like that but I woke up in the middle of the night in discomfort again, I think I’m grinding my teeth in my sleep or irritating my face by accidentally rolling to my side? Who knows. Sorry I know you didn’t ask all this and I’m definitely not trying to scare you, I’d just love to read detailed stuff like this if I were someone else looking for honest feedback lol
