how long does dry socket pain take to typically set in once the clot falls out?

Question

Can someone tell me how long will dry socket take to set in if i lose my blood clot?

Answer 1

Soon: if clot rejected normally there will be discomfort and healing will be slow. There are treatments for discomfort such as dry socket paste placed by a dentist

Answer 2

Yes: Pain immediately after is painful however long term pain is not unless something is going on.

Answer 3

Duh!!!: You don't need to know because it will not help you care for yourself. Only if you are writing a research paper. For chronic pain begin a self-care with a wellness program of vits, magnesium glycinate, sleep hygiene, exercise, self massage, chiropractor, yoga, heat, epsom tub soaking, stretching all are needed. In my practice I use acupuncture and myofascial tissue release.

Answer 4

Easy.: See your dermatologist and he/she can numb it, and shave it off--no problem.

Answer 5

Remove entire cyst: If this is what i think it is (an epithelial inclusion cyst, ) the entire cyst needs to be removed, including the walls--they shed the debris that fills the cyst, and have to be removed to prevent recurrence. Removal can probably be performed with local anesthesia in a plastic surgeon's office and the wound closed with a few sutures. Good luck.

Answer 6

You may have a cyst: Or other problems or it may not be your ovary see your gyn for a pelvic ultrasound, and make sure you are not pregnant.

Answer 7

Many other causes: First of all there are many other possible causes of pain in that pain. Do not assume it is an ovary. Have it evaluated.

Answer 8

Mild?: Emg needles vary in size; the monopolar needles quite small, even close to acupuncture size, and the coaxial needles quite larger in comparison. Any size needle may leave a small painful bruise. The electrical shocks will make a limb jump, and may be irritating. Thus, pain may be secondary to choice of technique, but also, due to anxiety level in the patient. Pain usually mild, well tolerated.

Answer 9

Tolerable discomfort: Emg and nerve conduction studies are typically performed together. Nerve conduction studies feel like a short electrical impulse and are, in a word, annoying. Several nerves are tested. Emg involves placing a fine wire pin into various muscles-- the pin is about the size of an acupuncture needle and feels like an insect bite-- not as bad as a shot, iv, or blood draw. Several muscles are tested.
