Thanks, Cleo. I have requested an appointment with another OS for a second opinion. I don't want to mess around with this, and my current OS doesn't seem too concerned (which maybe it really is nothing to be concerned about) but I would like someone to at least explain it to me and verify whether or not my concerns are legitimate.

As of now, I'm still in quite a bit of pain, can't chew and I'm even more limited in opening my jaw now. I mean, this can't possibly be normal for a wisdom tooth extraction, can it? Shouldn't I have improved at least a little bit by now? I haven't had any zingers since this morning, and I only had a couple. No sensation coming back yet. I'm probably getting myself worked up over nothing, but better safe than sorry.
