My wisdom teeth experience was as follows: go into the office, get a needle into my arm, slowly get a nice buzz that turns into darkness, really fast.
Upon waking up I felt like a million bucks, no pain what so ever, i tried to get up on my own, the nurse yelled at me because i almost fell over, and i was bleeding a ton, good times. I went into the recovery room and layed down after my father and the nurse walked my in there. On the ride home I was pretty high from the medication still, hilarious conversation with my dad, I was all gaused up and mumbling.
We went to the pharmacy to fill the prescription they gave to me. Tylenol 3(tylenol /w codiene), OUCH. That medication is useless when it comes to pain management.
I tried to work with it, but after about 6 hours the medication from the office that knocked me out started to wear off and the pain become much more prevelent.
The Tylenol 3 was not cutting it, so I found a way to get some stronger stuff, which worked just fine and after about 2 days the pain was no longer an issue really, just slight aches and pain.
By 5 days I was out drinking and smoking with my buddies again.
FYI: I only had one impacted, they had to cut into my jaw bone to get it out, that was the only one that hurt more than 2 days.
