EDIT; I can’t reply to everyone individually but thanks for all the suggestions! Opiates are out of the question, doctors here will only prescribe those in terms of absolutely extreme suffering or end of life care. I also don’t particularly feel interested in developing a hard drug habit. Diclofenac and such are available but also only on separate prescriptions, I’d have to visit another doctor for that. I’m well stocked on paracetamol & ibuprofen, and apart from that, lots of ice cream, pudding & soup :)
Also, since a fair few people seem to doubt the veracity of my story, here’s the 22 extracted teeth (the other 10 were already gone in previous extractions).
Your doctor will only prescribe opiates in the most extreme cases? I’m not buying it at all. Getting all your teeth removed is under no uncertain terms a MAJOR case of extreme pain and precisely what they should be used for. Also, you’re a fool thinking that taking them after a surgery like this will lead to a “hard drug habit.” Also, no mention of any antibiotics? Sounds like you don’t want to fall into a hard successful recovery habit either. And last but not least… An oral surgeon removing all teeth at once!!!
I also read your comment about this being because of free healthcare and I call bullshit on that as well. There’s only two possible explanations for this predicament you’re in. The first is that this is a completely bullshit story which I’m leaning towards. Second is that you went to a unlicensed and illegal place that did this procedure. This would make the most sense with your admission of a complete lack of communication and proper prescriptions.
