Hard to say...: All extractions are not the same... neither is the healing and pain associated with the procedure. Have your surgeon re-evaluate the sites to make sure you are healing correctly.

Burning, achy pain behind upper wisdom tooth. Tooth is fine. Dentist says tmj. Motrin or Tylenol (acetaminophen) doesn't help. Can tmj cause this achiness? Miserable!
