Re: Lower only to Cammie

Cammie--So, from your reading on these message boards...do most people have it

easier with lower only? (I'm having lower only...so I'm hoping you'll say YES!)

Me, too, brittany.

I had lower only, and had no pain to speak of. At least no pain the

drugs didn't dismiss. I am hoping that you will be the same.

I do not like the thought that " my parents are making me. " I do think

you can get through it pretty easily -- at least I hope it will be as

easy for you as it was for me.

Taking out the wizzies was a lot worse for me, in terms of pain. Of

course, I got a dry socket, and you htg do not want that. Jaw surgery

on lower only was a walk in the park by comparison. Honest.

If I can help, holler, and I will.

Best,

Cammie

absolutely yes.

Upper gives usually more troubles with congestion, bleeding etc.

Lower can indeed give more numbness, but did not for me. Less pain,

less congestion, even less numbness, usually, I think. My doc is most

excellent, very experienced, and I had no numbness, little swelling;

big-time bruising, but I bruise every time i bump into a stump.

I hope that you will fare as well as I did. My docs were most

excellent, and I was singularly fortunate in the whole experience.
