Q: Headaches Everyday All Day Still After Wisdom Teeth Removal

Hey all,
for what must have been 10 years I was stupid enough to think "when I get headaches I always feel it in my wisdom teeth first"
well stupid me finally went to oral surgeon and I had 2 partial impacted wisdom teeth and one fully impacted and infected one (lower)

i had gone to him because I had headaches all day everyday, I tried stopping caffeine, I tried taking alergy medicine..
Same deal, just these really horrible headaches, kinda like from my lymph nodes to my temple and between my eyes, side of my head,,,,

asprin makes them go ahead for well, 4 hours...
Same with ibuprofin
so I dont mean to be funny but if it were inoperable brain cancer from planet pluto would a aspirin help?

Anyway, had the wisdom teeth taken out, did the whole antibiotic thing the 8 days after were just awful, on vicodin and ibuprofin and mashed potatos, blah blah blah

its about 4 weeks later now and guess what headaches are the same, never changed

went to doc and we even tried not taking any pills for it to rule out a "pain pill headache" that actually is thing (amazing) but nope...Not it

so long story short (to late), anybody have any stories of really long recoveries or stuff like that pertaining to this?

Here is the semi good news, I swear when I do have the headache (which happen when I get my timing wrong on the ibuprofin) if I push on the spot where the infected worse impacted wisdom tooth was, it seems worse..

Meaning it feels local...But I dont know if this is just because my whole head hurts...Know what I mean?
As in, if I got it by a truck and I pressed on my knee and it hurt, it might not be the knee pursay

anyway, any help or insight would be great

Same thing for me here
I have had the exact same problem, and i think it might be the caffeine, because I have stopped it for some reason, and I believe when i do drink it, about a few hours later I suprizingly feel a lot better, but i am not sure. I will wake up everyday with the worst headache, and I would pop like 3 ibuprofens and then take some more about 4 or 5 hours later. But I have heard that it is bad for your liver.

I know this might just be me, but in my mouth my gums are peeling from my teeth, and this very nasty taste, I am not sure exactly what it is, but every time I eat or run my tongue across it, I get one of the nastiest taste I think I have ever tasted. I think it might be blood, but I am not sure.

I found out what it was
The nasty taste in my mouth was something they put in my gap where they removed the tooth and it has a very unique taste to it, but I now use a suringe and put hot water in it and that flushes out that stuff from the flap on my gums.

I also believe the headaches I was having was from the caffeine withdraw, because those days I could not do anything after my wisdom teeth I could not get caffeine, but it is all better now..

I hope that this helps anyone who need this information.
