Thank you! I wish you many deserved joys for having that kind of empathy!

YASSS! Thank you for giving me a good place to start
Thank you, Sir! Boy is that the truth. Nothing over the counter was designed to do this amount of heavy lifting! They're terrible for your liver, kidneys, and are not nice to your stomach. My pharmacy doesn't want a shred of accountabillity, so I can only consult the pharmacist if I have a prescription to discuss. Womp womp U_U
Right!? Thanks for replying anyway I guess :)
This is what I mean when I say alternating (just for clarity), devised by oral surgeons, not my vibes:
800mg ibuprofen -> (wait 3 hours) -> 500mg acetominophen -> (wait 3 hours) -> Repeat
This could be all I need for one surgery, or completely useless trash for another... but imo, If you take them both together, you'll feel more pain overall when they wear off. Overlap reduces that with a leapfrog effect. Or not. Just listen to your professionals
You win the oscar for matching my exact feelings with infinitely less outrage
Who to report to? I was thinking of going full Karen on their office manager, just on principle. I can't imagine how this would be for a patient coming out of a more intensive prcedure!!! But that feels like unsheathing a sword to find a limp cod in your hand...
Dry socket comes from dislodging the ...(GORE DISCLAIMER) blood clot from the empty tooth socket before it can harden and heal. Epsom salt wont cause that, but the dehyration of the area via salts sure as hell wouldn't help. I totally get the conern, though! Had to look it up to be sure
I'm not able to do any kind of smoking, vape or edibles. HOWEVER! There are topical salves out there that help immensely. They're usually 100% on thc and cbd in an oily little tub. That and my massive pain tolerance are what I'm using currently. Excellent tip!!!
Yes! And if you're anything like me, expect your stomach to feel like raw hell during the 800ibuprofen/500acetominphen onslaught. I'm also on a liquid diet, please pray for me! Lol
My insuurance provider does literally nothing except bill me. Wish it had anything like that! Thank you anyway for the thought!
The crazy part is that I'm just following what they wrote in the aftercare instructions. I guess it's considered fine to go ham for a few days in extenuating circumstances? Thank you for the kind wishes!
