Because we are all uniquely different human beings, some will take longer to
heal than others. This could be because some have a higher pain tolerance, some
may have had a more extensive surgery and on and on. So, I would not even want
to guess how long your pain will be, because that's all it would be is a guess.
Forgive me, I don't have an answer for you on this one (DID YOU READ THAT
NANC?) The longer you are with us, the more you learn and that is one of the
great benefits of this forum. Everyone is open and honest and only wants the
best for the next moler, with nothing in return, other than the next moler helps
someone else. A pass it along theory. We all have our own talents and alone we
stand alone; but together we can help, we can make changes, we can be there for
the scared, the lonely; etc. As a group we are powerful! Take care and God
bless and soon the worse will be behind you, infact very soon, when the pain is
gone! Your friend, Lill
