Asked By:joelwesley in Troy, MI

Extraction of root canaled upper molar which had broke and decayed. Bone graft and collagen plug. 4 days out and pain is getting worse. I'm on Norco 10/325, Tylenol 3 and ibuprofen 800 plus using ice pack. Dentist had a hard time extracting. Pain is mostly in my jaw and cheek area. Waking me in night. I did have bits of tooth or bone for 1 day but not since. Just bear with it for the weekend?
