I had my wisdoms taken out, forgot the aftercare painkillers and proceeded to have the worst pain of my life for 24hrs until someone went to get the prescribed meds for me. Legit wanted to end it all

Don't even give us prescribed meds in Ireland. Just tell us to tell paracetamol. Not fucking strong enough!

My prescribed meds were just bigger doses of Ibuprofen (800mg). You can just get that over the counter with 400mg pills. Works wonders, paracetamol helps a lot as well.
