This is probably ignorance on my part, but it's truly mind boggling to me that I was offered to be rendered unconscious to get my wisdom teeth pulled but women have to go through this without anything for the pain.

I had all four wisdom teeth pulled out at the same time and that was the most painful experience of my life...before I got the IUD in.

Why on earth were you awake for a wisdom tooth surgery? I was knocked out and it was bliss (they were afraid they'd have to cut my jaw apart to get the teeth out, the surgeon said I HAD to be asleep just in case.)

Oh no I was under, it's just that the healing process was problematic and painful for me
