At 29 years old I’m getting my wisdom teeth out.
This Friday.
All 4.
This will be my first surgery of any sort EVER.
I’ve never been under before and I’m scared.
I have had wisdom tooth pain sporadically the past 12-18 months. Nothing too overwhelming until the week of the LA marathon in March when I was in blinding pain for about a week. Let’s cue to a few weeks ago – aka about a week or so before the Marine Corps Marathon – when I was in the same blinding pain.
Since I wasn’t about to make a cross country move like I was in March, I went to my dentist and then get referred to an oral surgeon.
As far as I know they aren’t impacted, but my bottom left is erupted and that’s the one that caused so much trouble this time.
The neck-aches the past two weeks have been horrid and I’m currently battling a sinus infection, all of which I believe are connected to my teeth.
As sacred as I am about surgery, I’m hopeful that months and months of pressure and pain will be relieved.
My roommate is taking Friday off to take me to the surgeon and help me recoop.
Any helpful suggestions to ease recovery would be appreciated.
