I don't want to make it sound bad for you, but yes, I am in a little pain now. I've been taking painkillers and other pills 'round the clock, too. Weird thing is, it's just one tooth (or tooth "area") that hurts: my bottom left side. I can't even see the top ones, but I looked at the bottoms, and there are actually holes visible, or "sockets," or "plugs," in my gums! It mainly hurts when I eat (which I just did), but it's starting to feel better now, with an ice pack on the side of my mouth. Water and most drinks make it hurt, but tea seems to be soothing. I've had a completely soft food diet today, but hopefully I can do some heavier eating tomorrow. When you get yours done, be sure to let us know how you're doing, and maybe I can provide some tips, advice, and of course, support. Well, I'll probably only get a few more posts in, if any, tonight, because I've got to get to bed, but thanks for checking in with me.
