Hopefully Bryanna will respond to you on this one. I don't like how this sounds. May be infection still in your jaw, at the site of the extraction. Usually water pics, are good for the gums, so I don't think the shower hurts. However any remaining pain is something to get checked out. Bone itself can become infected especially if the initial infection, did go into the bone. Pain like that is not normal. If your OS does not take an active investigative roll, I would see that other opinion. Better to be on the safe side, and try and get rid of that pain. Is the empty socket all closed up nicely? Any swellings at the site? ginnie
