Default 3 wks postop 4 Wisdom teeth extracted

Hello everyone, glad to find somewhere to talk to ppl with similar experiences. Hope you all are well!

My history
38 f
Non smoker
Chronic Kidney Disease stage 2

I had all 4 extracted at once. The top 2 were fully in, the bottom right was just exposed at the crown and on an angle toward the next molar, the bottom left was not in at all and impacted slightly. Surgery was quick (to me) I was under full sedation. I am not able to take the heavy painkillers so I just took 2 OTC Motrin e 6hrs. Pain was horrible, I was very swollen. Especially on the left side. I got through it but have some residual issues I may need to give him a call and let him know but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced this. The bottom left side is still very sore. Just to touch the outside of my cheek is painful but it's only when u press on it a bit. I still cannot open my jaw far enough to bite a sandwich, and there is a slice in my cheek/gum that is pretty deep and I see a black dot inside it. My jaw also pops when I yawn or sneeze it hurts. It's not a constant pain, I'm not even taking anything for pain anymore as it only happens when I move it or touch it. Should I still be having these issues this long after surgery?
