I've had a few extractions recently and it leaves me in a lot of pain and fatigue but if you're getting too much socket pain I'd get it checked out as you could have a infected socket .The pain usually peaks around day 3💜
@A MyFibroTeam Member how long has it been since you had your tooth pulled? I had one of my molars pulled at the beginning of the year. My dentist got my tooth out surprisingly easy, took about 15 minutes. But, my gums were very sore for about a week. I ate soft foods until the pain was tolerable. If it's been longer than a week you may want to call your dentist and let them know.

Yes I have been reading up about dental care with fibromyalgia , it's important to follow up with a dentist as well as the rheumatologist. I have read and I hope that you get some relief soon
Orajel can be gently placed around the gum surrounding the extraction to help ease pain and people laugh when I tell them this. Paracetamol is the best thing for any type of tooth pain. That and Ibuprofen, taken a few hours after each other. 1 will help inflammation as well as pain ♥️❤️
You can get teething gel which has lidocaine in it, hope the pain eases soon XXX
