I've had 5 teeth removed four of which were wisdom teeth and they have become infected. I'm on a high dose of Hydromorohone and antibiotics and am still in a great deal of pain. I've been unable to eat and am now suffering from kidney pain and a bleeding ulcer. I would appreciate prayer from my brothers in Christ because this has become unbearable and I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.
In Christ Matt

Do you have a dry socket?
I had my four wisdom teeth removed, and another tooth removed at the same time, and ended up having a dry socket. The pain is terrible and taking more pain killers will often not work. And if you take more medicine then prescribed, that could damage your body.
But if it is simply a dry socket, all you have to do is pack the socket with wet cotton balls. The dentist will do that for you.
Have you gone back to the dentist about this issue?

Well I was back to the dentist and he was unable to tell if it was dry socket due to the swelling and the fact that I was unable to open my mouth. (Swelling on both sides of the jaw.) So he prescribed me some antibiotics hoping that it would clear the infection. I've been taking the meds as prescribed and have an appointment today with my family doctor about the kidney pain. So I really don't know what I have, but I do know I have a bad infection that's causing severe pain.

Thank You for your prayers the pain has now gone and it apparently was caused by a pinched nerve.
In Christ Matt
