I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday. My mouth was completely numb, but today the numbness disappeared and is replaced by an unbearable pain. I'm taking oxycodone and advil, but it just isn't helping, and I took it two hours ago. I'm icing when I can, except when I'm refreezing the ice pack, and it only temporarily decreases the pain.
I have stitches where they sutured the flaps (my wisdom teeth have not erupted), so I need to be gentle with those areas, so I can't suck on anything (like ice).
Why isn't the oxycodone working? I'm taking it as directed, every 3-4 hours, except for once I took it about two hours after my last dose, but I didn't have any side effects or a rush or anything. I didn't get high I mean.
I took about 4-5 in since 1pm yesterday, and right now its almost 10am. All of the doses except for the last one worked pain-wise. Why isn't this one working?
Also, just an important note: a dentist prescribed this to me, I'm using it to relieve the pain, and I'm not becoming addicted (it takes about a week to become addicted to oxycodone).
Seeing a doctor is out of question this weekend, so don't suggest it.
Thank you (link)

when i had my wisdom teeth taken out i was double dosing the vicodin and it still wasnt helping. i was crying in the backseat of the car as my parents drove me after the anesthesia wore off its just one of those things in life that really fucking hurts, not much you can do about it. the intense pain only lasts a couple days, just try to stay comfortable.
