This eats ass! I had to have an emergency extraction of an upper molar today...and lucky me, the only genetic freaky thing about me is...I have the roots of a man near 7 fucking feet tall!!!! I'm freakin only 5'8"! So I go to pick up my pain meds/antibiotics/and rinse...I went ahead and got my Test Cyp Rx filled while I was there!

The dentist said I should be able to train by next week...so I'm eating good, and resting up for next week...sound about right?
I know this lady has no idea I'll be putting nearly 500lbs on my back! I still get goose bumps when I buy my gear OTC...

Oh, and the lady that gave me the shots in my gum said I probably shouldnt look at the needle....a 30 gauge!!!!!!!!!! lol

I have 3 more shots to go on this vet gear cycle, and it's all upjohn from here on out..whew!

D

p.s. Sorry if this post is all over the place...the Percocet 650 is kicking in....

It all depends on how you feel. You could go back in 2 or 3 days. I trained with a guy who got bone grafted from his hip to his shin (motorcycle accident) and was doing incline presses with 245 a week later. When I had my wisdom teeth out I felt like shit for 2 weeks. I would say if you feel good go for it.

I agree with markas...it all depends on how you feel.

You may be unable to do solids for a day or two so keep the protein shakes going.

I just got 2 perfectly healthy upper teeth pulled today. I too have the long roots, and they were double rooted. It took 15 minutes of pulling for each tooth to come out. I asked the dentist about the gym and he said that 48 hours should be plenty of time, unless I feel otherwise. I always recover fast from teeth pulls though. I got them pulled at noon and it is 9:00pm and I just woke up from a vicaden nap. I am off the vics, and have no pain at all. My face is not swollen anymore either. I am hitting the gym tomorrow night after work.

So, as stated above, depends on how you feel. I just wanted to let ya know that my dentist said 24 to 48 hours.

Good luck bro.!

I just hate to be in the gym straining and reopen the gaping hole in my upper jaw....and have my brain leak out. lol

Ya, I can't eat worth a shit. I have been drinking protein shakes like crazy.

the last time i had one pulled, january 2003, my dentist told me to lay off heavy weights for three to four days. he said that i did not need to strain or do anything that would cause the blood clot to move leading to dry socket. i have never had dry socket but the few people i know that have had it said it is one heck of b!tch. jmo
