Carol had her teeth removed Wednesday. Some immediate relieve of intense mouth and ear pain. The tongue tumor was rubbing against her teeth causing the extreme pain. She's been able to sleep about 4 hours now instead of 2 albeit still restless sleep. They scripted Percocet 10/375 that needs to be crushed and mixed with water. Stronger than Lortab.

Thursday am she had a rough time getting out of bed. She felt like she had been hit by a train, every muscle in her body from the neck to the soles of her feet were aching. She shuffled and slightly bent forward at the waist to walk. Carol didn't want to call the Dr, figuring it would work itself out. At 2 am Friday I rubbed and massaged her with Mineral Ice. The Mineral Ice had aided her in the past whenever she had sore muscles. Not this time. She got cold so I turned on the heat and put another blanket on her. It took over an hour for her to get warm. She's the type person that doesn't get cold even when the weather is cold. I vow here and now never, ever again use Mineral Ice on her! The Dr was called and he said it could be from the local anesthesia (SP?). This a.m. she's not as sore. Could it be they gave her too much or brought her out of it too soon? Next week I'll find out what local they gave her, Dr wouldn't say over the phone.

Anyone have problems after having their teeth removed or any side effects from the local anesthesia?

As a side note, suture removal is scheduled 2/3/10.
