Not to get all Nancy Reagan on you, but watch out for those pills. Seems like the docs have no problem signing off on the hardcore stuff for the slightest pain these days regardless of a specific need.
A friend's wife had her wisdoms pulled and was given Limbaugh-strength meds, and, without going into all the unpleasant details, had a helluva time getting off them.
I recommend whiskey.

Well, out of surgery. Not too groggy about an hour and a half after waking up. Not too much pain, but I think the local anesthetic hasn't worn off. Managed to eat a yogurt and noodle soup. No pain meds yet!

Pain killers are pretty much a necessity tonight and at least part of tomorrow. After that, extra strength Tylenol should do the trick.
Hope you're using ice to stop the swelling.
Both me and 2 of my 3 kids have had wisdom teeth removed. (Son had all 4 done at one time!). NONE of us needed prolonged pain killers and all felt better by the 2nd or 3rd day
Feel better!

Good Lord. Thank God males aren't the ones who have to give birth. Humans would have been extinct by now.

And, you're welcome.
