the chiro did say it would get worse before it got better
Now that the gum swelling has gone down, the stitches have appeared and are starting to annoy me. Usually, this would not be a concern seeing as the surgeon would take them out in a week.
Unfortunately, the surgeon has gone on holidays from today and won't be back until June. Sooo...either I find another surgeon, or live with a mouth full of stitches for a month. And that's assuming that my surgeon isn't so idiosyncratic with his stitches that someone else can't unpick them and remove them.
It may get better.
However, today I started getting the head twinges again - back right scalp. I don't see the chiro for another week - they advised a break during the week of the surgery. I do have a massage booked for tomorrow, the difficulty might be persuading her not to go above the neck. (Sometimes the more alternative massage practitioners seem to take 'please don't touch X' as a directive that they should specifically work on X instead of avoiding it. Has anyone else noticed this?)
The chiro I saw while mine was on a break said "don't be surprised if everything gets worse for a while, but then clears up once you get the tooth out". So I'm holding out that this is temporary and not the next stage of worse.
*sighs and digs in*
