Here in the EU, the doctor didn't give me any strong opiod. They just pulled the tooth and sent me home. When the pain reached a score of 8 / 10 on my personal score card, I took one Tylenol and another 1/2 before bed that day and didn't take anything else the next day.

What's a 10/10 on your personal score card, out of interest? I hope you understand that your 8/10 may be akin to a 2/10 for someone else.

It might also have been a 7/10. When I had surgery on my back, right above my buttocks, they dug a hole deep right onto my bone and then it had to heal on its own, took 4 months to close. The first two days were a solid 9.5/10.

Yup same here in Germany, you can ask for something against the pain, but that will usually only get you a prescription for Ibuprofen 600/800 mg.

Took those way to long over jaw issues until I got stomach problems, asked the dentist for something else and he prescribed metamizole drops.

Didn't use many of those as they sometimes give me kidney pains.
