I got my wisdom teeth out a bit over two weeks ago now and the pain was still bothering me and there was a lump on my gums. The dentist suggested we reset the healing process so that’s what I did today, I went in and they chopped me back open to start over again, day 1 all over again. 

This “new” day 1 is so far about 3x more painful then the original day 1 so I’m horrified that I made a mistake by deciding to rest the healing process. Was I just being overly sensitive to pain before? Was I being dramatic? 

I was also awake this time for the surgery and I hated every last minute of it, I just wanted to scream the whole time but I kept it in.

Because day 1 is off to a bad start compared to the original I’m worried the pain either won’t resolve or will be worse then it even originally was. I currently have my follow up appointment set up for the 27th in which the dentist will assess my healing. Sadly after that I am losing my health insurance so I don’t know what I will do after this follow up if things don’t get better. Also my teeth feel super crooked again like they did on the original day 1 and I’m worried it won’t go back to normal


I know that to many this may seem like a small issue but it’s only a drop in the bucket of what’s happening in my life right now. For example, this year I went through a fire and got raped many times. I’m also currently dealing with finals as it’s my senior year of high school. And I’m having job issues.

I don’t know what to do anymore, it feels like life is ruined especially with this tooth stuff
