In case you followed my thrilling tales of wisdom tooth extraction and the subsequent 'Lockjawening', its been a good three weeks and I was wondering, 'Is this my life now?' I tried massaging, homebrew physical therapy, Ibuprofen and Diclofenac. Nothing seemed to help and I couldn't chew any food without severe pain, so bottom line, only soup for me. In the last few days, I noticed I could open more than in the beginning and I could close my mouth in the morning but it would get bad again during the day. Today was the first day I could actually enjoy some grilled meat and use my teeth for what they're meant to do. What a relief. I had almost given up hope and it kind of paralyzed me mentally. Just in case this happens to any of you, give it time, it will work out.
