PAIN -- please read others' posts on this point

[Guest guest]

You say: " worth all the pain? " ...

Please, please read around on the posts. Most people do not, in fact,

have a lot of pain.

A lot of frustration, yes. A lot of congestion (if you're having

upper), yes. A lot of numbness, yes, maybe. But usually NOT PAIN. It's

incredible, but at least there is not usually big time pain.

It's a common misconception, and I'm not saying anyone should be shy

about using prescribed pain meds. But usually pain is not a big problem

here, unless you have a bone graft. Then the pain at the donor site is

usually greater than that in the jaws.

I'm no MD, and I didn't believe it when my surgeon told me, but it has

proved true for many, many people.
