I just had 3 wisdom teeth removed last Tuesday...so I am a week out of surgery today.

I am having a couple "complications" post surgery and interested to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

The first issue is a hard lump along my jaw line. I noticed it on Sunday and had an appt yesterday at the oral surgeon to check it out. I did not see the oral surgeon but instead their aftercare nurse. She said she thought it was old blood collected/pooled and would eventually dissipate. She was able to flush some old blood out of the extraction site that was periodically seeping out prior to my appointment. None of the fluid appeared to be infected at all. I don't have any fever and the extraction site showed healthy, pink tissue. Has anyone else had a very hard lump that ultimately self resolved in time?

Secondarily, my bottom jaw is visibly shifted to the left...the side of the hard lump. Subsequently my molars aren't meeting properly when I close my mouth. This was the site of my most impacted wisdom tooth so I am sure the work in that site was the most invasive. I also brought this issue up to the nurse and she said that there can be a lot of force involved in the extraction and I would have to give it more time to see if the jaw migrates back as more healing occurs.

I scheduled an additional followup next week to revisit both issues....

Has anyone experienced these issues? I am particularly concerned about the shifted alignment of my jaw as I am concerned the solution could be a break and rest that would require a wired jaw for weeks.

Thanks in advance for any feedback!
