Thanks margaret...I was starting to think I was going crazy...I didn't feel anything really for so long just swelling...Guess that would have been too easy to get away with numbness...I have always believed in no pain...no gain...

My family is more concerned than I am actually...It is a pain I can live with but it has its moments where there are sharp jabs and my gums are itchy (which I know is good sign) and also feel like I have tooth aches...so for now I think I will just keep monitoring it. My nurse told me to keep an eye on it and it is somewhat normal to have the more intense pain now that the numbness is going away...
