Hi MSCherokee,
OUCH! I have had several teeth extracted and the wisdom teeth were the absolute worst. The very first one I had the same problem you did with even opening my mouth. They were the only molars that caused that problem, howeer, teeth further forward didn't.

I also have the same barfing problem with anything with codeine in it. Darvocet is not as effective, but works well for me and doesn't cause that awful nausea. Might want to ask about it?

Wish you the best. Let us know how it goes?
