all my wisdom teeth were still under the gums. the only reason these two had to come out were because i needed crowns on the back two teeth but the dentist didnt feel comfortable putting them on as the wisdom teeth were pushing right up against them and there wouldnt be enough room for the crowns to provide support. so out they came.
so far no pain. the anesthetic is just now starting to completely wear off. im getting feeling back in my tongue and cheek slowly. and there's some swelling but not a lot. :dunno:

I had all 4 done at once. Hurt like a bitch for 3-4 days. No amount of pain medication would make the pain go away. I would just keep taking medication till I passed out.
Then about 2 weeks after they ended up getting infected. I had to go to the dentist and get my gums cut open so they could drain. Hurt just as bad as having them pulled. Overall it was about a month of pain
