Question How long before extracted wisdom site heals?

Hey, all.

I had my bottom left wisdom tooth extracted a week and a half ago. I'm limiting the "hard stuff" pain relief (hydrocodone) to bedtime, but it's bugging me that I still have to take heavy doses of Advil about 2-3 times a day, even now. It's one tooth! Is this crazy?? The oral surg said Tuesday that I'm healing well; no dry socket. How long should I have to keep this up?? Is 2 weeks unusual? Longer? I'm improving s-l-o-w-l-y.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Thanks muchly!
