Motrin 800 helps but am taking about every six hours to control it. I also take tramadol in the evening to help. This doesn’t feel normal. I’ve also started to have some discomfort on my neck and shoulder (same side) and discomfort to center of chest. Cardiac issue ruled out by ED so far (stress test this week). Appt to see oral surgeon In two days. Hoping to hold out until then!! I feel miserable!!

It looks like it is healing well. I can be a piece of bone graft material trying to work it's way out of the gums. That's normal and can happen within the first few months after having a bone graft placed.
I suspect that you needed to have that graft redone as the site must have become contaminated with saliva and germs. Let me know how it turned out, please.
