Joined: Aug 2013 Posts: 16 | After 9 days post-op, my jaw still hurts, especially where my implants were removed. Guess they had to take more bone where the sockets were, due to the bone growth on the titanium. Kinda switching between the Roxicet and plain old advil. 400 mg right now, but might go to 600 before I go to bed.
Wonder how long my jaw will hurt?

While I didn't have the same surgery,I can tell you it takes an awfully long time for surgery in the head and neck to heal. If you're on 400mg of Advil and contemplating 600, you're much better of than I was at 9 days post op! I'm just weaning off narcs at 4 months post treatment!
Patience my OC brother... all in good time.
