Wisdom teeth: The most horrible thing that exists

Hoy sentí el segundo dolor mas fuerte de mi vida y aun lo tengo 100%, hace unos días he tenido una pequeña molestia en mis dientes, sentía dolor e hinchazón del lado izquierdo, intente calmar el dolor con pastillas, pero cuando el efecto se pasaba no podía ni masticar bien mis alimentos. Es asi como decidí hacerme una panorámica en mis dientes para que pudieran evaluar que me estaba pasando

Today I felt the second worst pain of my life, and it's still 100% there. A few days ago, I had a minor problem with my teeth; I felt pain and swelling on the left side. I tried to ease the pain with pills, but when the effect wore off, I couldn't even chew my food properly. That's why I decided to get a panoramic X-ray of my teeth so they could assess what was happening.

y el problema era una muela del juicio que salió hace años pero que recién estaba afectándome, la solución era sacarla. De verdad en ese momento no dimensione la magnitud de lo que significaba sacar esa muela, simplemente dije que si y ya.

The problem was a wisdom tooth that had erupted years ago but was only now starting to bother me; the solution was to have it extracted. Honestly, at that moment I didn't grasp the magnitude of what having that tooth removed meant; I just said yes, and that was it.

Sin estar preparada para lo que se veía, sin desayunar y pensando que seria un procedimiento facil, entre a hacerme la extracción, la doctora me anestesio, eso dolió bastante pero eso eran cosquillas a comparación de lo que me esperaba mas adelante.

Unprepared for what I saw, without having breakfast and thinking it would be an easy procedure, I went in to have the extraction done. The doctor anesthetized me; that hurt quite a bit, but that was just tickles compared to what awaited me later.

QUE PESADILLA FUE SACAR ESA MUELA, he pasado todo el día llorando por este dolor tan espantoso, la extracción fue rápida porque yo colaboré bastante aguantando el dolor al máximo, pero llore en la camilla y apreté mis puños super fuerte, sentía que me arrancaban toda la mitad del rostro, pensé que sentiría un alivio al terminar, pero fue todo lo contrario, un dolor horrible que no me dejaba ni mover la boca. Sinceramente yo era bastante ignorante en este tema, ni siquiera sabía que teníamos unas muelas inútiles que debíamos sacar.

What a nightmare it was to have that tooth pulled! I've spent the whole day crying from the excruciating pain. The extraction was quick because I cooperated a lot, enduring the pain as much as possible, but I cried on the examination table and clenched my fists so tightly. It felt like half my face was being ripped off. I thought I'd feel relief when it was over, but it was the complete opposite—horrible pain that wouldn't even let me move my mouth. Honestly, I was pretty clueless about this; I didn't even know we had useless teeth that needed to be removed.

Mi cara hinchada y después de llorar una de las miles de veces que llore hoy.

My face is swollen and after crying, one of the thousands of times I cried today.

En definitiva un día horrible y me arrepiento muchísimo de haberme echo esto, que dolor tan inmenso siento en toda mi cara es que lo peor es que el dolor agarra hasta la garganta, me cuesta tragar incluso agua, comer es todo un reto y además de la nada hoy tuve que dejar de fumar forzosamente, cosa que me parece bien ya que lo he intentado bastante y no había podido dejarlo, pero ahora mismo aunque extraño fumar créanme que no quiero nada en mi boca ya que el dolor es insoportable. Me recetaron medicinas, pero no siento alivio alguno.

In short, a horrible day, and I deeply regret doing this to myself. The pain is immense, all over my face. The worst part is that the pain extends to my throat; it's hard to swallow even water. Eating is a real challenge, and on top of that, I was forced to quit smoking today, which I think is a good thing since I've tried quite a few times and hadn't been able to. But right now, even though I miss smoking, believe me, I don't want anything in my mouth because the pain is unbearable. I was prescribed medication, but I'm not getting any relief.

Realmente no sabía que esto era una experiencia tan cruel, sientes todo lo que te hacen en las muelas y como te arrancan poco a poco la muela se siente como si te arrancaran toda la parte izquierda del cuerpo, me acuerdo y me da demasiado estrés y ansiedad, de verdad que fue terrible-

I really didn't know this was such a cruel experience. You feel everything they do to your teeth, and how they slowly pull the tooth out feels like they're ripping out the entire left side of your body. I remember it and it gives me so much stress and anxiety. It was truly terrible.

Y para colmo, quería conservar mi muela al menos para tenerla de recuerdo y la doctora lo boto antes de que me diera la oportunidad de pedírsela. Pero bueno, esta semana será difícil entre dietas y cambio de hábitos que realmente nunca me espere, solo espero que este dolor se me calme pronto.

And to top it all off, I wanted to keep my tooth, at least as a keepsake, and the dentist threw it away before I even had a chance to ask for it back. Oh well, this week is going to be tough with diets and changes in habits I never expected. I just hope this pain subsides soon.

So sorry for the pain
I can actually feel your pain because I had a very bad experience too
I had a little accident well no so little because it took me to the dentist 🦷 hmm
Not a situation I want to wish my enemies
Like for days I couldn't eat just taking liquids no solids food
Well I thank God I came out of it without much complications

Wow, you were lucky! I'm glad everything turned out alright. Toothaches are so complicated.
